Background / objective: A review of our experience in the technically demanding arterial switch operation (Jatene) in transposition of the great arteries in children. Patients and methods: 48 children who underwent an arterial switch operation at our Centre were retrospectively reviewed. The underlying pathology was d-transposition of the great arteries and a double outlet right ventricle of Taussig-Bing transposition type in four cases. The operation was performed in cardiopulmonary bypass for anatomically repair of the transposition. Results: From January 2002 - March 2007, 27 infants underwent an arterial switch operation. Operative mortality in this period was 11%, in most cases from myocardial ischemia following unsuccessful transfer of a dangerous pattern of coronary arteries. Postoperative morbidity occurred in four patients who presented various degrees of pulmonary stenosis artery. Two patients required reoperation. Conclusions: The arterial switch operation is considered to be a procedure of choice for correction of transposition of the great arteries. The operation involves acceptable mortality and morbidity. |
