Transposition of Great Arteries With Intact Ventricular Septum in an Adult: A Successful Outcome

Ann Thorac Surg. 2022 May;113(5):e343-e346. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2021.07.002. Epub 2021 Jul 17.

Abstract

The management of dextrotransposition of the great arteries with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction continues to evolve. Even when large intracardiac shunts are present, it remains a lethal cyanotic congenital heart disease if it is not surgically corrected soon after birth. We present our experience with a 25-year-old woman who presented with transposition of great arteries with severe left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and underwent a successful single-stage arterial switch operation with preservation of aortic and pulmonary valves.
