Anomalous origin of a pulmonary artery branch from the aorta is a rare congenital anomaly in which one of the pulmonary arteries arises from the aorta. These patients require early surgery to prevent development of severe irreversible pulmonary arterial hypertension. Multiple techniques have been described for repair of this condition. In this report, we describe a different technique compared with previously described procedures and discuss its advantages.
