The Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure is used to relieve systemic outflow tract obstruction, usually in patients with single ventricular type anatomy. The unobstructed pulmonary outflow is used to provide relief of systemic outflow obstruction. A modified Blalock-Taussig shunt or cavopulmonary shunt is required to provide pulmonary blood flow This study sought to determine long-term outcomes of a primary Damus-Kaye-Stansel (DKS) procedure in patients with a functional single ventricle and to compare the results with those of our historical control subjects who underwent pulmonary artery banding before the DKS procedure. The Damus-Kaye-Stansel (DKS) procedure is a cardiovascular surgical procedure used as part of the repair of some congenital heart defects. [1] This procedure joins the pulmonary artery and the aorta in situations where the systemic circulation is obstructed. It is commonly used when a patient has the combination of a small left ventricle Two patients (one with transposition of the great arteries and another with Taussig-Bing anomaly) underwent the Damus-Stansel-Kaye procedure (Group I). Significant aortic valve insufficiency developed postoperatively in both patients. In contrast, seven patients with a univentricular heart and subaortic stenosis from a variety of reasons underwent creation of an aortopulmonary window (Group II The end-to-side Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation more frequently caused a deterioration in pulmonary regurgitation than the double-barrel Damus-Kaye-Stansel operation (4/11 vs 1/34, P = .001). No surgical intervention for a systemic ventricular outflow obstruction was observed in the follow-up period. The Damus-Kaye-Stansel (DKS) procedure seems to be one of the options, but it is less of a possibility in these patients, who usually have direct pulmonary arterial closure.
