Fig 1 (A) The cobra-head cuff of the Venaflo II graft (Bard, Tempe, AZ). (B) The anastomosed Venaflo II graft (Bard) was located just below the neoaorta. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery , DOI: ( /j.athoracsur ) Copyright © 2009 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

Fig 2 (A) The follow-up angiography revealed a good pulmonary artery (PA) configuration. (B) A coronal view of the neoaorta at the PA level. The reconstructed PA stump with the cobra-head cuff of the graft avoids potential compression effects by the neoaorta. (AsAo = ascending aorta; Neo Ao = neoaorta; PA = pulmonary artery; PDA = patent ductus arteriosus; RV-MPA = right ventricle to main pulmonary artery.)
