Intraventricular repair of transposition complexes with ventricular septal defect
DA Cooley, P Angelini, RD Leachman and ER Kyger 3d
Repair of transposition of the great arteries by the technique developed by
Mustard is the method routinely used for correction of such anomalies.
Intraventricular repair of transposition complexes associated with a large
ventricular septal defect can prevent some of the limitations and late
complications of the intra-atrial operation. A technique is described of
intraventricular repair of an unusual Taussig- Bing type of anomaly with a
pericardial patch as a baffle to channel left ventricular outflow to the
aorta and right ventricular outflow to the pulmonary artery.
