Figure 1
Diagram describing the intracardiac repair. The green triangle demonstrated the ventricular septal defect (VSD) enlargement with infundibular resection and the dotted yellow line indicates the intracardiac baffle. Ao, Aorta.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Multimodal images showing transposition of the great arteries (TGA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), small pulmonary artery (PA) and single coronary artery. A and B, reconstruction in 3 dimensions of the magnetic resonance imaging scan. C, Echocardiogram short axis showing a single coronary artery with intramural and intra-arterial trajectory. D, The 3-dimensional models. Ao, Aorta; LVOT, left ventricular outflow tract; RCA, right coronary artery; LMA, left mainstem coronary artery.

A, Postoperative echocardiographic 2-dimensional apical view, showing the intracardiac baffle, unobstructed left ventricular outflow tract, and anastomosis between pulmonary artery and the posterior wall of the aorta (Damus-Rastelli). B, Magnetic resonance imaging single-shot steady-state free precession images in sagittal view showing the right ventricle-pulmonary artery conduit (left panel), the Damus-Rastelli (central panel), and the ascending aorta (right panel). Ao, Aorta; PA, pulmonary artery; LVOT, left ventricular outflow tract.
