To address that, we have developed a novel technique targeting key concepts for the correction of all components of the anomaly, using autologous arterial tissue. This aims to enhance results, availability worldwide, and importantly to avoid the need for repeated reoperations.<h4>Methods</h4>From January 2019 to 4 January 2021, all patients with isolated CAT had repair of the defect using autologous arterial trunk tissue with direct right ventricle (RV) to pulmonary artery (PA) connection. Clinical outcomes, follow-up which included multi-slice computed tomography 3D segmentation and 4D cardiovascular magnetic resonance flow, are presented.<h4>Results</h4>Twenty patients were included in the stEuropean journal of cardio-thoracic surgery : official journal of the European Association for Cardio-thoracic Surgery562-571https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC8922708biostudies-literatureNovel concepts and early results of repairing common arterial trunk.PMC8922708Shehata NEl Sawy ADoss RHosny HMahgoub AAbdullah HAfifi ASimry WElafifi ANagy MRomeih SYacoub MHAbouZeina MGfalseNovel concepts and early results of repairing common arterial trunk.<h4>Objectives</h4>Common Arterial Trunk (CAT) continues to have a very poor prognosis globally.
