A boy with 22q11.2 deletion was diagnosed with pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect (PAVSD) and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (MAPCAs). At 8 months, unifocalization of left MAPCAs and BT shunt was performed at another hospital. However, they occluded directly after surgery. An angiography revealed 2 MAPCAs supplying all segments of the right lung. Qp:Qs was 2.24. At 1 year 6 months, we performed VSD closure with unifocalization of the only right lung vascularity, using intraoperative PA flow study. We report a successful case of complete repair with unilateral lung in PAVSD and MAPCAs.
