From October 1976 to June 1986, 12 patients with corrected transposition of the great arteries (c-TGA) underwent repair of associated intracardiac defects. Ventricular septal defect (VSD) was closed by the method of de Leval in 7 patients, pulmonary outflow tract obstruction was relieved by valvotomy in 2, and bypassed by an external valved conduit in 6. The systemic atrioventricular (A-V) valve was replaced in 2. There was one operative death, giving a mortality rate of 8%. None of the patients developed complete heart block. The ejection fraction of the systemic ventricle was impaired (29-38%), particularly after ventriculotomy of this chamber. Surgical repair of intracardiac defects associated with c-TGA currently can be performed with acceptable risk, and de Leval's method for VSD closure is recommended; but the possibility of the postoperative development of systemic ventricular dysfunction and A-V valve regurgitation necessitates careful follow-up.

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.
