  • Title: Neonatal arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries in a patient with mirror image dextrocardia and situs inversus totalis.
    Author: McMahon CJ, Snyder CS, Rivenes SM, Sang CJ, Fraser CD.
    Journal: Tex Heart Inst J; 2000; 27(2):193-5. PubMed ID: 10928507.
    Abstract:
    The neonatal arterial switch operation has become the standard therapy for D-transposition of the great arteries in the absence of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We describe our experience of successful arterial switch operation after balloon atrial septostomy in a 5-day-old infant girl who had atrial and visceral situs inversus totalis, mirror image dextrocardia, and D-transposition of the great arteries. To our knowledge, ours is the first report of this operation in a patient with this anatomy.
