Arterial switch operation for repair of nineteen cases of transposition of the great arteries associated with ventricular septal defect and three cases with double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect[Taussig-Bing type DORV] was performed from November 1987 to September 1990 at the Seoul National University Children`s Hospital. Sixteen of them were under six months of age, and three were under one year of age with body weight ranged from three to fourteen kilograms. Preoperative cardiac catheterization was done in eighteen patients, in which the pressure of the left ventricle was greater than 70% of the right ventricle in all but one. Patent ductus was associated in thirteen cases[68.4%] of TGA+VSD, and atrial septal defect or patent oval foramen was in sixteen cases. Four atrial septostomy, one modified Blalock- Taussig shunt, one pulmonary artery banding, one coarctoplasty using subclavian arterial flap, were perfomed before arterial switch operation. There were five hospital deaths, all in the. patients with transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect[overall mortality rate 22.7%]. Lecompte Maneuver was used in all patients, and in all patient the U-shaped flap of coronary arteries were transposed to V-shaped cleavage created in the neoaorta. Arterial defect in the neopulmonary artery was covered with 0.0625% Glutaraldehyde fixed autogenous pericardium There have been no late deaths, Postoperative cardiac catheterization and angiocardiogram in four patients has revealed no stenosis in the neopulmonary artery or neoaorta with reasonable P[RV/LV], Anatomic correction for transposition and double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect would seem to be a good operative alternative to intraatrial switch procedures, with the advantage of incorporating the left ventricle to systemic circulation.

The clinical findings with cardioangiography and successful surgical treatment of a 10 year old girl with double-outlet right ventricle is reported at The Dept. of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Korea University Hospital, College of Medicine. The patient has been suffered from intermittent cyanosis, palpitation, and exertional dyspnea since 1 year after NFSD, and a holosystolic ejection murmur of grade 4 at the left 3rd intercostal space with mild cyanosis of the lips was the only physical findings at the time of this admission. Cardiac catheterization revealed ventricular septal defect with left to right shunt of 43% and right to left shunt of 10.2%. On cardioangiography from the left ventricle revealed all of the left ventricular outflow shunted into the right ventricle through the large ventricular septal defect, and the aorta originated from the infundibular chamber of the right ventricle with left, anterior sided pulmonary artery. The atria, viscera, and ventricles were normally located, and right ventricular out-flow was narrowed with infundibular hypertrophy and pulmonary valvular stenosis. Surgical correction was accomplished by closure of the ventricular septal defect in such a way that left ventricular outflow was routed via a Teflon felt prosthetic tunnel to the aorta, and pulmonary valvulotomy with infundibulectomy Was done to pass Hegar`s dilator No. 15 for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract. The patient tolerated complete repair and has continued to improve over a period of three months after operation with normal school life. Details of the disease and method of repair are presented with related references.

Forty-five patients with double-outlet right ventricle[DORV] underwent complete intracardiac repair between July, 1983 and June, 1989. Patients with complete atrioventricular canal, atrioventricular discordance and uni-ventricular heart were excluded. The 32 male and 13 female patients ranged in age from 3 months to 15 years[mean 4 years]. Thirty-two patients had pulmonary stenosis. The early mortality was 11.ltd[5 /45] None of 27 died after a completely intraventricular repair. The mortality was 20%[1/5] for repair using transannular patch, 20% [1/5] for REV operation, 33.3%[1/3] for repair including extracardiac valved conduit, and 50% [1/2] for Jatene operation, respectively. Two modified Fontan procedures were performed without mortality. One died after Senning operation. Causes of early deaths included high residual right ventricular pressure[one patient] small left atrial and left ventricular volume[one patient], persisting severe pulmonary hypertension [one patient] and low cardiac output of unknown cause [two patients]. Complete heart block developed in one patient. Two late deaths occurred among the 40 operative survivors [5.0Po] from persisting severe pulmonary hypertension and bleeding at reoperation. Our results indicate that significant defects can be repaired with low mortality and morbidity.

Sixty four children [aged 2 days to 9 years] , 58 with complete transposition of the great arteries, 5 with Taussig-Bing double outlet right ventricle, and 1 with double outlet left ventricle plus left ventricular type single ventricle, have undergone anatomic correction from November 1987 to August 1992. Eleven underwent previous operations: pulmonary artery banding[7], modified Blalock-Taussig shunt[2], coarctoplasty[2], aortic arch reconstruction[1] . Of 58 patients with TGA, Type A coronary arteries of Yacoub were seen in 50[86%]. U-shaped coroanry arterial flaps were transfered to the neoaorta using trap door technique, and neopulmonary arterial tract was constructed using glutaraldehyde fixed autopericardium with Lecompte maneuver. There were 18 hospital deaths [28.1%] with no late mortality. Mean follow-up of 20.4\ulcorner11.9 months were achieved in all survivors. Postoperative cardiac catheterizations were done in 14 cases. Mean pressure gradients of pulmonary and aortic outflow tract were 15.0 $\pm$2.6 and 4.2$\pm$1.4mmHg, mild aortic valve insufficiencies were found in 2, and mean cardiac index was 5.18$\pm$0.19 L/min/M2. We conclude that we should continue anatomic correction for the complex congenital heart anomalies with the malposition of the great arteries because myocardial function seems to be well preserved, though we are still on the learning curve.

Origin of both great vessels from morphological left ventricle [DOLV] is a rare cardiac anomaly which embryologic possibility has been explained by differential conal development concept and differential canal absorption concept. Recently we had surgical experience of DOLV in 4 month-age infant weighing 5.7Kg. The chief complaints on admission were cyanosis and anoxic spell during severe crying, and right heart catheterization and right ventriculogram were performed but incorrect diagnosis was made. The operative procedures were ligation of patent ductus arteriosus, patch closure of subaortic VSD aligning aorta and pulmonary artery with left ventricle, suture closure of proximal pulmonary artery and valve and the use of extracardiac valved conduit [Carpentier-Edward l4mm] from right ventricle to distal pulmonary artery. Postoperative course was uneventful and discharged in the good condition.

Thirty-two patients with a cyanotic cardiac malformations having more complex intracardiac defects than ones in a tetralogy of Fallot underwent complete intracardiac repairs in a-full-year period from July 1981 to June 1982. Twenty-two patients [68.8%] died within 30 days after surgery: Transposition of the great arteries, seven of 10 patients; Double-outlet right ventricle, four of 6 patients; Tricuspid atresia, four of 6 patients; Single ventricle, all of 4 patients; Pulmonary atresia, two of 3 patients; Double-outlet left ventricle, none of 2 patients; and Truncus arteriosus, one of a single patient. All deaths occurred with a low cardiac output syndrome or a failed off-bypass, and they were almost always accompanied with other grave postoperative complications. The complex intracardiac anatomy itself was one of the risk factors by making a complete intracardiac repair of the defects difficult in a small heart. The reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow carried a difficulty in balancing an adequate relief of the obstruction with an avoidance of making too much pulmonary valvular insufficiency as well. On the other hand, the presence of an elevated pulmonary arterial pressure and a high pulmonary vascular resistance was also the factors affecting the postoperative surviv als. The importance of detailed knowledge of intracardiac anatomy and hemodynamics from the careful preoperative evaluation of the patient was discussed along with the necessity of technical refinement of the correction.

We reviewed our experiences on 33 patients who underwent a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt[BCPS from February 1992 to July 1994. There were 19 male an 14 female patients, and their weight ranged from 4.4 to 13.3 Kg[mean weight 8.4 $\pm$2.9 Kg . The age ranged from 2 to 55 months [mean age 16.7 $\pm$15.5 months . Their diagnosis included single ventricle group in 16, unbalanced ventricles in 8 whose associated anomalies were double outlet right ventricle, transposition of great arteries and total anomalous pulmonary venous return, tricuspid atresia in 7, hypoplastic left heart syndrome in 1 who underwent a Norwood procedure and double outlet right ventricle with pulmonic stenosis and tricuspid stenosis in 1 who underwent biventricular repair. Among them 10 patients had received other palliative operation before [Norwood procedure 1, pulmonary artery banding 3, modified Blalock-Taussig shunt 6 . The BCPS operations were performed under the cardiopulmonary bypass. 16 patients underwent unilateral BCPS and 17 patients who had bilateral SVC underwent bilateral BCPS. Three patients whose associated anomalies were interruption of IVC underwent total cavopulmonary shunt. There were 5 operative deaths [mortality rate 15.1 % and 2 late deaths. The risk factor for the operation was high mean pulmonary artery pressure [p value<0.05 . The survivors showed good postoperative course and their postoperative oxygen saturation was increased significantly compared to that of preoperative status[p value<0.05 .Conclusively, BCPS operation is effective and safe palliative procedure for the many cyanotic complex congenital anomalies with decreased pulmonary blood flow especialy for the patients who have the high risk factors for Fontan operations.

Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) and transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary stenosis (PS) are complex heart diseases, the treatment of which remains a surgical challenge. The Rastelli procedure is still the most commonly performed treatment. Aortic root translocation including an arterial switch operation is advantageous anatomically since it has a lower possibility of conduit blockage and the left ventricle outflow tract remains straight. This study reports successful aortic root transpositions in two patients, one with DORV with VSD and PS and one with TGA with VSD and PS. Both patients were discharged without postoperative complications.
