The surgical management of d-transposition of great arteries (d-TGAs) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) is ever evolving and still remains a challenge because of wide anatomic variability, age of presentation, surgical options available, and their variable long-term results in different series. We describe a patient with d-TGA, VSD, and LVOTO who presented to us at 13 years of age and underwent an arterial switch operation along with neoaortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis. The postoperative course was uneventful, and at hospital discharge, the echocardiogram was satisfactory. We present the pros and cons of this hitherto undescribed treatment option.

AbstractWe report a case of interruption of the aortic arch associated with patency of the arterial duct, restrictive ventricular septal defect, obstruction of the left ventricular outflow due to a discrete subaortic shelf and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension. The patient survived to adulthood, when a complete angiographic diagnosis was made. The subaortic obstruction was treated by percutaneous balloon dilation performed through a right brachial arteriotomy. Correction of the interrupted arch was carried out surgically using a woven Dacron graft from the aortic arch to the descending thoracic aorta associated with ligation of the duct. Hemodynamic studies after one year revealed a marked decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance and a sustained reduction in the gradient across the left ventricular outflow tract. The case is of interest in the light of the unusual survival and the success of staged management of this complex situation.
