From March 1984 to January 1987, anatomic surgical correction was performed on 110 newborn infants (2 to 23 days old, mean 7.8 +/- 3.5, standard deviation) with simple transposition of the great arteries and 10 additional neonates (7 to 30 days old, mean 17.9 +/- 8.3, standard deviation) with transposition and a large ventricular septal defect. All had preoperative catheterization. Ninety-six percent of the patients underwent balloon atrial septostomy and 90% received prostaglandin E1 infusion until the time of the operation. The anatomy of the coronary arteries according to the Yacoub classification was as follows: type A, 82 patients; type B, 5 patients; type C, 4 patients; type D, 23 patients; and type E, 6 patients. Continuous hypothermic bypass with no circulatory arrest was used for all patients except two. Myocardial protection was ensured by crystalloid cardioplegia. Coronary artery relocation was performed according to the Yacoub technique with some modifications, and pulmonary artery reconstruction was done according to the Lecompte maneuver in all patients, even when the great vessels had a side-by-side relationship. The proximal pulmonary artery was reconstructed with two circular patches for the first 10 patients and with a single large posterior patch for the last 110 patients. Tanned heterologous pericardium was used for the first 25 patients and autologous native pericardium for the last 95 patients. The perioperative mortality rates were 8.3% for the entire series and 5.4% for the last 110 patients, with no deaths in the group having transposition plus ventricular septal defect. Late death from acute myocardial infarction occurred in two patients in the second month after operation. No patient was lost to follow-up, which ranged from 2 to 46 months (mean 16 +/- 11.2, standard deviation). The follow-up included sequential noninvasive evaluations and 32 catheterizations performed 10 to 18 months postoperatively. Two patients were reoperated on for pulmonary stenosis caused by retraction of the two heterologous pericardial patches, but neither died. Six others have mild to moderate pulmonary stenosis. Two patients have trivial aortic regurgitation. None have aortic dilatation or supravalvular aortic stenosis. The 108 survivors have no cardiovascular symptoms. They all are in sinus rhythm, have normal left ventricular function, have no ischemic problems, and receive no medication.
