ABSTRACT
The case of a young boy with an extremely rare and complex cardiac malformation is described. Situs inversus, dextrocardia, double discordance with pulmonary atresia, absence of true pulmonary arteries, and systemico-pulmonary collateral arteries was the original diagnosis. Three preparatory operations were necessary to reconstruct and unifocalize the pulmonary vascular tree. At the age of 7 years complete correction with intraoperative stenting of the left neopulmonary artery was successfully performed. After more than 3 years from the definitive operation, the patient is alive with no physical limitations.
