OBJECTIVE We report the mid-term follow-up of patients, who underwent arterial switch operation (ASO) for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with intact ventricular septum and left-ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) over a 10-year period from 2000 to 2009. METHODS Thirteen TGA patients (3.9% of our ASO cohort) with intact ventricular septum and LVOTO underwent ASO. LVOTO was defined as pulmonary valve z-score ≤ -2.0 (n=3) or peak LVOT gradient ≥40 mmHg with (n=7) or without (n=3) anatomic subvalvar stenosis on echocardiography. Median age and weight were 14 days (range, 7-130 days) and 3.2 kg (range, 2.1-4.6 kg). The LVOT abnormalities included fibromuscular narrowing (n=5) and atrioventricular valve-related findings (n=5). LVOT clearance was achieved by resection of accessory mitral tissue (n=2) only. RESULTS Follow-up was 100% complete. There were no early or late deaths. Freedom from re-operation for neo-aortic valve regurgitation and/or LVOTO was 100% at a median follow-up of 38 months (range, 6-115 months). All patients had functional status appropriate for their age. Three patients had mild aortic regurgitation. The median Doppler estimated LVOT systolic gradient was 12 mmHg (range, 0-18 mmHg) for the entire cohort at the latest follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Mid-term outcomes of ASO for a highly selected group of patients with pulmonary valve annulus z-score ≤ -2.0 ≥ -0.4, resectable organic LVOTO, and dynamic peak LVOT gradient ≥40 mmHg remain satisfactory, with a need for long-term follow-up.

D001022 Aortic Valve Insufficiency Pathological condition characterized by the backflow of blood from the ASCENDING AORTA back into the LEFT VENTRICLE, leading to regurgitation.

D014188 Transposition of Great Vessels A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the AORTA arises entirely from the RIGHT VENTRICLE, and the PULMONARY ARTERY arises from the LEFT VENTRICLE. Consequently, the pulmonary and the systemic circulations are parallel and not sequential, so that the venous return from the peripheral circulation is re-circulated by the right ventricle via aorta to the systemic circulation without being oxygenated in the lungs. This is a potentially lethal form of heart disease in newborns and infants.
