Abstract
Early recruitment of a discontinuous branch pulmonary artery will give the best long-term outcome for congenitally disconnected pulmonary arteries. This may be achieved using a staged approach. Even in low birth weight neonates, a hybrid approach with the first stage consisting of transcervical (via the common carotid artery) patent ductus arteriosus stenting can be performed to recruit the pulmonary artery where conventional treatment strategies may not be feasible or may be associated with higher risk.
