Arterial Switch Operation With Neoaortic Valve Replacement in a 13-Year Old Patient With Transposition of Great Arteries With Ventricular Septal Defect and Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction-A Case Report

World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg. 2020 Jul;11(4):NP190-NP194. doi: 10.1177/2150135118769320. Epub 2018 Oct 10.

Abstract

The surgical management of d-transposition of great arteries (d-TGAs) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) is ever evolving and still remains a challenge because of wide anatomic variability, age of presentation, surgical options available, and their variable long-term results in different series. We describe a patient with d-TGA, VSD, and LVOTO who presented to us at 13 years of age and underwent an arterial switch operation along with neoaortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis. The postoperative course was uneventful, and at hospital discharge, the echocardiogram was satisfactory. We present the pros and cons of this hitherto undescribed treatment option.

Keywords: LVOTO; TGA; arterial switch operation; neoaortic valve replacement.
