  • Title: Fenestrated arterial switch operation: surgical approach to an unusual transposition of the great arteries complex.
    Author: Mignosa C, Duca V, Bianca I, Salvo D, Ferlazzo G, Abbate M.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2001 May; 71(5):1684-6. PubMed ID: 11383827.
    Abstract:
    Transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum and aortopulmonary window is an extremely rare anatomic combination, having been reported just twice previously. Other authors performed a physiologic repair, because the combination was considered unsuitable for an anatomic repair. We describe the case of a 26-day-old baby with such anatomy who was successfully treated with an arterial switch operation. A 4 mm fenestration at atrial level was made for a smoother postoperative course.
