Abstract
The surgical management of patients with transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis remains a challenge. The Rastelli operation or Lecompte operation is the preferred surgical procedure, but its long-term results are not optimal because of a warped left ventricular outflow tract through a space-occupied intraventricular tunnel and a contrived right ventricular outflow tract. We performed a half-turned truncal switch operation as an alternative surgical procedure in a 3-year-old boy (weighing 9.6 kg) with this anomaly. Postoperative echocardiography showed laminar flow through straight and nonobstructive aortic and pulmonary ventricular outflow tracts.
