Between February, 1981, and December, 1984, 30 patients underwent anatomic correction of transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (n = 8), transposition with ventricular septal defect (n = 15), and double-outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect, the Taussig-Bing anomaly (n = 7).
