AbstractAn infant is described with congenitally corrected transposition and Ebstein's malformation. Banding of the pulmonary trunk had been previously performed because of a muscular ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent the double-switch procedure with the intention of unloading the morphologically right ventricle and the malformed tricuspid valve. This resulted in prompt postoperative functional and haemodynamic improvement.

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.

The case of prenatal ultrasound diagnosis of complete transposition of the great arteries and dextrocardia in the fetus with left juxtaposition of the atrial appendages and subpulmonary ventricular septal defect in the third trimester is presented. The postnatal echocardiography confirmed the prenatal diagnosis. At 2 months of life, first surgical intervention under extracorporeal circulation was performed: the arterial switch operation and narrowing of the dilated pulmonary artery root, closure of patent foramen ovale, ligation of patent ductus arteriosus. At the age of 8 months, the child underwent a second operation: closure of ventricular septal defect with the transventricular approach and plastic surgery of the pulmonary artery. After an operation third-degree atrioventricular block (bradyarrhythmias) has occurred and 2 weeks later patient's health improvement was achieved, and he underwent implantation of a single-chamber pacemaker. Currently, the child is 2 years old, physical and mental development corresponds to age and he remains under the supervision of specialists.

From January 1991' to May 1994, 29 patients with double outlet right ventricle with ventricular septal defect, without pulmonary stenosis underwent primary intracardiac repair at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. Patients were classified into 4 groups based on location of the ventricular septal defect. The ventricular septal defect was subaortic in 11, subpulmonary in 13, doubly committed subarterial in 1, and noncommitted in 4 patients. Surgical treatment consisted of intraventricular routing of the left ventricle to the aorta (17), and the left ventricle to the pulmonary artery followed by an arterial switch operation (12). There were 4 (13.9%) early deaths. Follow-up ranged from 3 months to 3 years (mean, 1.5 years). There was no late mortality. Three patients had residual ventricular septal defect, one of whom has undergone reoperation. One patient has a gradient of 25 mmHg across the left ventricular outflow tract. Double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonic ventricular septal defect was found to be a significant risk factor for early mortality (p = 0.03). The subgroup of double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonic ventricular septal defect who had a combination of single coronary artery and post arterial switch operation was particularly prone to pulmonary hypertensive crisis and hospital death (p = 0.002).

We reviewed our surgical experience, over a 7-year period, of 38 patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis, who were anatomically well-suited for a biventricular repair. Follow-up ranged from 2 to 9 years (mean 5.3 years). One group of patients underwent a univentricular repair; there were 2 early deaths (8%) among the 24 patients who underwent a Fontan-type repair and 5 patients had prolonged pleural effusion. There was no early mortality in the 3 patients who underwent a bidirectional Glenn anastomosis but there was 1 late death. Patients undergoing a biventricular repair comprised 6 who had closure of a ventricular septal defect and pulmonary valvotomy, and 5 who had ventricular septal defect closure and conduit repair. There was 1 early death (9%) and 2 patients developed iatrogenic complete heart block in this group but there was no late mortality. None of these patients had a double switch procedure. With the advent of the double switch procedure, there are now 3 modes of management for these defects. Determining which of these provides the best long-term result is still a matter for debate.
