ABSTRACT
The surgical management of severe truncal valvular dysfunction is still challenging in neonates with persistent truncus arteriosus. This report describes a 14-day-old neonate with severe truncal valve insufficiency successfully undergoing truncal valve repairs, and followed by valve replacement at the age of 4 years. The truncal valve was quadricuspid with two large and two small leaflets, and all leaflets had severe dysplastic and myxomatous changes. We performed leaflet extension and bicuspidization valvuloplasty for this valve. This patient obtained somatic growth for 4 years without heart failure symptoms, and safely underwent prosthetic valve replacement. This technique would be effective for truncal valve dysfunction in neonates as the life-saving and the bridging procedure to valve replacement.
