Rotation of the outflow tracts

Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg. 2018 Sep 1;27(3):463-464. doi: 10.1093/icvts/ivy087.

Abstract

The optimal treatment for transposition of the great arteries with stenosis along the pulmonary tract has always been a challenge. En bloc rotation of the truncus arteriosus has been proposed as an alternative method in this group of patients. We report a truncus turnover in a 3-month-old, 3.4 kg infant.
