Arterial-level repair of transposition of great arteries without coronary artery transfer

Ahmed A Elassal et al. J Card Surg. 2020 May.

Abstract

Hypoplastic ascending aorta and interrupted aortic arch (IAA) are rarely associated with dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA). Severe hypoplastic ascending aorta may preclude coronary artery transfer making arterial switch operation problematic. We report a case of D-TGA with a large subpulmonic ventricular septal defect, IAA, and hypoplastic ascending aorta that underwent successful biventricular surgical repair without coronary artery transfer.

Keywords: D-TGA; DKS; hypoplastic ascending aorta; interrupted aortic arch; transposition of great arteries.
