Solitary Infiltrating Meningioma of the Trochlear Nerve: Case Report.

The use of hybrid techniques to avoid neonatal cardiopulmonary bypass in high-risk individuals is well reported in the setting of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. We describe the use of that technique as a bridging procedure in high-risk neonates with an interrupted aortic arch. We report three cases where hybrid branch pulmonary artery banding and ductal stent implantation has been successfully used to defer complete repair, allowing recovery, maturity, and weight gain. This strategy may be considered for patients deemed at high risk for primary neonatal repair.
