Yasui conversion after biventricular repair in patients with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction

Surgical reintervention for progressive left ventricular outflow tract obstruction after a standard biventricular repair of aortic arch obstruction and ventricular septal defect is rare but can occur. In this situation, left ventricular outflow bypass surgery can be performed to relieve left ventricular outflow tract obstruction by creating an intraventricular baffle to channel the re-opened ventricular septal defect to the pulmonary valve, Damus-Kaye-Stansel anastomosis, and right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery connection with a valved conduit.
