Abstract
- Over the past several years, a number of centers have reported favorable results of anatomical repair for the congenitally corrected transpositions. However, there have been subsequent problems related mainly to the results of atrial switch procedures in patients who had small atriums because of venoatrial obstructions or supraventricular arrhythmias, especially in patients with apicocaval juxtaposition. Cavopulmonary shunt may be a useful addition to the double switch operation in certain circumstances as a means of avoiding potential atrial complications. Herein, we describe the successful anatomical repair of congenitally corrected transposition of the great artery with pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect, and cavo apical juxtaposition with this modification.
