OBJECTIVESPulmonary artery (PA) compression by the neoaorta is a serious complication after the Norwood-type palliation (NP) for hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Either excess patch tailoring or limited use of autologous tissue may cause narrowing of the subaortic space. The chimney technique could theoretically provide a wide subaortic space.METHODSTwenty-nine patients with both pre- and post-NP computed tomography data available of the 37 consecutive patients who underwent NP in our institution were reviewed. Arch height, arch width, sinus of Valsalva diameter, area under the neoaortic arch and arch angle were measured. These patients were divided according to the neo-arch reconstruction technique, chimney reconstruction technique (CR) or conventional direct reconstruction technique (DR).RESULTSMedian age and weight at NP were 2.1 months and 3.5 kg, respectively. Twenty-two patients underwent previous bilateral PA banding. During NP, 17 CR and 12 DR were performed. Four patients in the DR group developed PA compression. No neoaortic arch dilatation was found in either group. Post-NP arch width, area under the neo-arch and the arch angle were significantly larger in the CR group. Pre-NP arch height was significantly smaller in DR patients with PA compression than in those without.CONCLUSIONSThe chimney technique decreased the risk of PA compression and provided a wider subaortic space and a less acute arch angle. This technique had no short-term effect on the neoaortic root. Small preoperative arch height is a potential risk factor for PA compression in DR, and the chimney technique could be an effective solution.
