Abstract

Pulmonary aspergillosis associated with cyanotic congenital heart disease is a rare condition, which is known to have a poor prognosis. We report a case of a 21-year-old woman with truncus arteriosus and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries who underwent primary Rastelli procedure after thoracoscopic lobectomy for the management of progressive pulmonary aspergillosis.
