Pulmonary Root Translocation for Anatomical Repair of Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries

Abstract

Pulmonary root translocation (PRT) was used to correct ventriculoarterial discordance as part of anatomical repair for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary stenosis (PS). The Senning procedure was used for completion of the anatomical repair. From March 2004 to June 2014, ten consecutive patients were operated. There was no hospital and one patient died 5 years after the surgical repair. In the postoperative period, control echocardiogram showed no obstruction in the systemic and pulmonary venous return. Also, neither LVOT nor significant RVOT obstruction was found in any patient. Our initial results suggest that pulmonary root translocation is a good option for correcting ventriculoarterial discordance in the anatomical repair of CCTGA with VSD and LVOTO.
