Transposition with intact septum diagnosed at nine months: arterial switch?
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 9-month-old infant presented with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum. His left ventricle was thin and deconditioned. He underwent an arterial switch operation and was electively supported with a left ventricular assist device for 8 days. He subsequently made a full recovery. Elective use of left ventricular support allows an extension of the age limit for the arterial switch operation.

Extending the boundaries of the primary arterial switch operation in patients with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum.
BACKGROUND We have previously suggested that the primary arterial switch operation is a feasible strategy for patients with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum (TGA-IVS) up to age 2 months. This study reports our current results with this approach and examines whether this policy could be extended beyond age 2 months. METHODS AND RESULTS 380 patients who underwen...
متن کاملPrimary arterial switch operation in children presenting late with d-transposition of great arteries and intact ventricular septum. When is it too late for a primary arterial switch operation?
OBJECTIVE The surgical management of infants older than 2 weeks with d-transposition of great arteries and intact ventricular septum (IVS) is a matter of debate. Some studies have presented good results of primary arterial switch operation (ASO) in these children. The aim of this study was to assess the surgical outcome of the primary ASO in children with d-transposition of great arteries and I...

متن کاملLate Atrio-ventricular Block After Arterial Switch for D-transposition of the Great Vessels With Intact Interventricular Septum
Arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries without ventricular septal defect usually does not lead to atrio-ventricular conduction disturbances. We discuss the case of a young boy presenting with first and second degree supra hisian atrio-ventricular block late after switch operation.
متن کاملMidterm follow-up of arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum and left-ventricular outflow tract obstruction.
OBJECTIVE We report the mid-term follow-up of patients, who underwent arterial switch operation (ASO) for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with intact ventricular septum and left-ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) over a 10-year period from 2000 to 2009. METHODS Thirteen TGA patients (3.9% of our ASO cohort) with intact ventricular septum and LVOTO underwent ASO. LVOTO was...
