Infant receives new pulmonary artery

The infant had pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect, and was taken to hospital 3 weeks ago in weak critical condition. The 3.2 kg infant has a fragile cardiovascular structure, and no pulmonary artery, so doctors had to create one. Aa week after the cardiopulmonary bypass, the infant is recovering with an functional pulmonary artery, and will be able to return home soon.
