SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF PULMONARY ATRESIA WITH VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT AND MAJOR AORTOPULMONARY COLLATERAL ARTERIES: Part II —Midline unifocalization and Unifocalization revision

Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries (PA/VSD/MAPCAs) is a rare and heterogeneous form of congenital heart disease.
