Anatomical correction of transposition of the great arteries

JP Bex, Y Lecompte, F Baillot and E Hazan

This method of true anatomical repair of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) avoids the transection and suture of the coronary arteries and does not require any tubes of foreign material. Because the transection goes through the infundibulum under the aortic annulus, the complete aortic root together with the coronary arteries and a muscular subvalvular rim can be sutured to the pulmonary annulus. The technical simplicity of this procedure allows its application in TGA with intact ventricular septum in the newborn when the left ventricular pressure is still high or after the left ventricle has been "prepared" by previous banding of the main pulmonary artery.
