Objectives: The physiological repair of the congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) has been associated with a long-term risk of the right ventricular dysfunction and tricuspid valve regurgitation. On the other side, the anatomical repair with the restoration of the left ventricle in a systemic position has been hypothesized to improve long-term outcomes. The aim of this study was to determine the results of the anatomical repair.

Objectives: The presence of single coronary artery (CA) in the arterial switch operation (ASO) for neonatal treatment with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) has been reported to be an independent risk factor for early death after surgical repair and late reintervention. The study objective was to evaluate the mortality and the CA stenosis risk at early and long term in neonatal ASO for TGA and single CA.

Methods: Between January 1987 and January 2010, 979 neonates underwent an ASO, of which 73 had a single CA (7.

Objectives: We describe in a prospective study, a novel surgical technique for the management of hypoplastic left heart syndrome inspired by the hybrid Norwood approach.

Methods: This new neonatal palliation comprises replacement of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and aortic arch plasty with a pulmonary homograft associated with the banding of both pulmonary arteries and atrial septectomy, under cardiopulmonary bypass without aortic clamping and cardioplegia. Initial results led to tightening of the pulmonary artery band from 3.

Objective: Long-term evaluation of the impact of bicuspid pulmonary valve on neoaortic valve regurgitation and aortic root dilatation (ARD) after arterial switch operation (ASO) for transposition of the great arteries (TGA).

Methods: Between January 1987 and March 2010, 980 neonates underwent ASO for TGA. A total of 40 patients (4.

Article Synopsis
  • * The procedure showed no hospital mortality, with average recovery times in the ICU being manageable, and most patients exhibiting stable or improving tricuspid valve function during follow-up.
  • * The findings suggest that PA banding is a safe option for treating ccTGA in neonates, potentially allowing for further procedures like the double-switch operation when necessary.
