Abstract
We treated a 7-day-old neonate with aortic coarctation, left aortic arch, right-side descending aorta, aberrant right subclavian artery, and outlet ventricular septal defect. Surgical one-stage repair consisting of coarctation repair by extended direct anastomosis, patch closure of the ventricular septal defect, and translocation of the right subclavian artery was performed under a separated (upper and lower body) perfusion with ascending and thoracic descending aortic cannulation. The postoperative course was complicated with massive chylous effusion, which was successfully treated by thoracic duct ligation.
