Berry syndrome: First Successful neonatal single-stage repair in India

Abstract

Berry et al. (1982) described a rare syndrome associated with distal aortopulmonary window, aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery, intact ventricular septum, and interruption or coarctation of the aorta. Here, we present the first neonatal case of single-stage repair of Berry syndrome in India. Timely surgery and skilled postoperative care define the short-term and long-term outcomes. Single-staged repair is preferred wherever feasible.
