Abstract

Total correction was performed in a child with l-transposition of the great arteries, severe subpulmonic stenosis, and a ventricular septal defect. The subpulmonic obstruction was bypassed with an extra-cardiac valved conduit. This alternate method of relieving ventricular outflow obstruction should be considered when conventional techniques cannot be employed because of complex intracardiac anatomy. Proper placement of the pulmonary ventriculotomy is important in order to avoid injury to coronary arteries on the upper and lower ventricular wall and to papillary muscles in the mid-portion of the ventricle.
