Demographic data and morphological features before RV–PA connection

Characteristics
Male/female16/21
Weight9.1 ± 2.5 (6.2–18.5) kg
Age1.9 ± 1.7(0.6–7.2) years
Without central pulmonary artery [n (%)]11 (29.7%)
Patients with MAPCAS [n (%)]24 (64.9%)
 MAPCAs with stenosis [n (%)]34 (53.1%)
 Number of MAPCAS64
 Number per patient2.9 ± 1.3 (1–5)
Patent ductus arterious [n (%)]20 (54.1%)
Mean Nakata indexa90.9 ± 42.6 (25.9–164.7) mm2/m2
Mean McGoon ratioa1.0 ± 0.2 (0.6–1.5)
Mean O2 saturation76% ± 10%
Mean haemoglobin171.6 ± 32.5 g/l
Left PA stenosis [n (%)]13 (35.1%)
Right PA stenosis [n (%)]1 (2.7%)
Both PA stenosis [n (%)]7 (18.9%)

aIf stenosis existed, the PA was measured at the level of the hilus of the lung; we used this diameter to calculate the Nakata index and McGoon ratio. Five patients with an approximately satisfactory PA development index but extremely diminutive PA on one side were also included in our procedure (shown in Fig. 1).
