Özet

Truncus arteriosus (TA) is a rare congenital anomally. The diagnosis of truncus arteriosus is an indication in itself for surgical treatment. Ideally daignosis should be made within hours of birth. And ideally surgery should be udetaken within the first week of life before the development of pulmonary vascular disease. In 1967 McGoon first used a valved allograft conduit to repair TA. We report a succesful surgical correction of a 12-year-old patient with TA and severe pulmonary hypertension. There were conotruncal valve regurgitation, minimal pulmonary steonsis. Ventricular septal defect closure with dacron patch, right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction using Contegra valved conduit were done. He had four times pulmonary hypertension attack at recovery period that were treated ilioprst (inhaler and trought to pulmonary arterial line) and peros sildenafyl. He was discharged with sildenafyl (Viagra R p.o.) and ilioprost (Ventavis R inh.) treatment.
