The mean diameter of the affected hilar pulmonary artery remnants was 3.14\u2009\u00b1\u20091.09\u2009mm (1.6-5\u2009mm), and the Z value was \u2212\u20093.66\u2009\u00b1\u20091.86 (range, \u2212\u20096.7 to \u2212\u20091.75). All the patients received single-stage revascularization: tube graft interposition in 3 patients, autologous pericardial roll in 4, direct anastomosis in one, and main pulmonary artery flap angioplasty in the rest 3. No hospital deaths occurred. Mean follow-up in this cohort was 3.3\u2009\u00b1\u20091.9\u2009years One case underwent percutaneous balloon dilatation due to new pulmonary artery stenosis. Nonetheless, the results were encouraging, symptoms have improved in all patients.
