AbstractThere are a few reports of successful replacement of the left-sided systemic tricuspid valve with a mechanical valve in small infants with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries having Ebstein’s anomaly. Tricuspid valve replacement is the preferred option when pulmonary artery banding, performed as a prelude to performing the double-switch operation, is not feasible because of severe heart failure caused by tricuspid regurgitation.

At 32 weeks of gestation, a male fetus with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries developed hydrops fetalis caused by a combination of mitral valve regurgitation and tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR). We performed a pulmonary artery banding (PAB) at 108 days old for gradually progressing TR, after confirming that a balloon dilatation test in the main pulmonary artery reduced TR. As the patient grew, the PAB became tighter and systolic blood pressure in the morphological left ventricle increased. At present, the patient is waiting for a double switch operation.

We performed a combined Senning and arterial switch operation on a 2-month-old patient with congenitally corrected transposition, Ebstein's malformation producing severe tricuspid regurgitation, ventricular septal defect, pulmonary hypertension, and congestive heart failure. The tricuspid regurgitation was improved. The double switch operation has the advantage of improving the function of the systemic atrioventricular valve, especially in newborns or young infants in whom the outcome of the valvar repair is poor.
