Isolated ventricular inversion with situs solitus: successful surgical repair

EM Baudet, A Hafez, A Choussat and X Roques

A 7-month-old infant with ventricular inversion without transposition of the great arteries in situs solitus, associated with a ventricular septal defect, is reported. When the infant was 13 months of age, successful surgical repair was undertaken by performing an intraatrial transposition of venous return using the Senning procedure and by closing the ventricular septal defect with a patch. The postoperative course was uneventful except for a well-tolerated complete heart block. No systemic valve incompetence appeared during the 53 months of actual follow-up. A complete review of the literature suggests that this is the sixth reported instance of successful repair. Injury of the abnormally located conduction tissue is regarded as the most threatening complication.
