Surgical approach to corrected transposition of the great vessels and situs inversus [I, D, D] with ventricular septal defect and systemic atrioventricular valve regurgitation
DC Watson, SR Shapiro, FM Midgley and LP Scott
Successful surgical repair of a 4-year-old boy with situs inversus [I, D,
D] and corrected transposition of the great vessels (TGV) as well as
hemodynamically significant ventricular septal defect (VSD), systemic
atrioventricular (tricuspid) valve regurgitation, and atrial septal defect
is described. Unique technical aspects of VSD and tricuspid valve repair in
association with corrected TGV and situs solitus or inversus are discussed
and clarified.
