The LeCompte manoeuvre
The pulmonary arterial bifurcation, right and left pulmonary arteries
were mobilized beyond the site of the divided ductus into the
pulmonary hilum on the left side and behind the superior vena cava to
the branching of the right pulmonary artery on the right side. The
distal transected end of the aorta was then threaded behind the
mobilized pulmonary arterial bifurcation by LeCompte manoeuvre and the
second aortic controlling clamp was transferred onto the aorta at its
new site behind the pulmonary artery bifurcation.
