Complete repair of transposition of the great arteries with pulmonary atresia

Aortic atresia occurring with complete transposition of great arteries.

Aortic atresia occurring with complete transposition of the great arteries (ventriculoarterial discordance) has not previously been reported. A patient with this condition is described, who is alive and relatively well at the age of 6 years. This survival contrasts conspicuously with that of patients with the far commoner situation of aortic atresia with normally connected great arteries. It is...

Complete Repair of Transposition of the Great Arteries with Pulmonary Stenosis

Complete surgical correction of transposition of the great arteries associated with subvalvular pulmonary stenosis carries a high mortality rate. A new surgical technique that achieves redirection of the ventricular outflows and relieves pulmonary stenosis by bypassing it, was successfully used to repair complete transposition of the great arteries associated with ventricular septal defect (VSD...

Repair of Transposition of the Great Arteries

From May 1963 to July 1972, 123 patients ranging in age from 20 days to 15 years, with Dtransposition of the great arteries, underwent an intraatrial baffle operation using a pericardial baffle. They previously had had a total of 121 various palliative procedures. Twenty-six children (21%) died in the early postoperative period. The operative mortality was 13% in transposition of the great arte...

Complete transposition of the great arteries.

Hypoplastic left heart with complete transposition of the great arteries.

A male newborn infant with hypoplastic left heart and transposition of the great arteries died on the second day of life. The haemodynamic consequences of this malformation are considerably different from those of ordinary hypoplastic left heart syndrome because of pulmonary rather than aortic atresia. In the absence of cross sectional echocardiographic equipment, cardiac catheterisation with a...
