| Popis: | Anatomic correction of transposition of the great arteries and ventricular septal defect has been performed successfully in two patients. The technique employed differed in several aspects from the so-called Jatene procedure: (1) Both great arteries were transected at low level; (2) the switch of the coronary arteries was carried out after transection of both great arteries; (3) a modified aortic homograft conduit was used to bridge the gap between the proximal aortic root and the distal main pulmonary artery; (4) the “new” main pulmonary arterial trunk was positioned on the right side of the ascending aorta; and (5) the ascending aorta was enlarged in order to match the dilated proximal pulmonary stump. The advantages of these modifications over other techniques reported in the literature are discussed. |
