Transaortic Closure of Ventricular Septal Defect in Congenitally Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries with Pulmonary Stenosis

Transaortic closure of ventricular septal defect, suturing a patch on the morphological right ventricular side in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries might help to avoid postoperative complete heart block if the aorta is large and the subaortic conus is not well developed. In two patients[aged 6 and 16 years] with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis, transaortic closure of ventricular septal defect was performed. No postoperative complete heart block resulted. One hospital death occurred because of sepsis who had underwent reoperation due to bleeding from the aortotomy site. Minimal aortic regurgitation developed in another patient.
