Anterior translocation of the pulmonary root was used as a new approach to the staged repair of Taussig-Bing anomaly with an interrupted aortic arch. It was performed to construct the right ventricle outflow tract with intraventricular baffling of the left ventricle to the aorta as the second stage operation after repair of the interrupted arch and pulmonary artery banding. This technique allows minimization of pulmonary regurgitation and has the major theoretical advantage for growth potential, which could diminish the need for reoperation.
