Key result
An arterial switch operation was successfully performed in a child with transposition of the great arteries despite a rare coronary pattern where all three major arteries arose from all three aortic sinuses.
Why the study?
Coronary artery anatomy is key to successful arterial switch operation in transposition of the great arteries, presenting technical challenges with rare coronary variants.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights the successful management of a first-of-its-kind coronary pattern in transposition of the great arteries during an arterial switch operation.
Coronary artery anatomy is the key to a successful arterial switch operation in transposition of the great arteries. We came across an unusual coronary pattern in a child with transposition in which the three major coronary arteries were seen arising from all three aortic sinuses. This coronary pattern is the first of its kind in transposition, and this case report emphasizes the difficulty in translocating such a rare coronary pattern while performing an arterial switch operation.

Mishra et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Transposition of the great arteries (n=1). Arterial switch operation was evaluated. An arterial switch operation was successfully performed in a child with transposition of the great arteries despite a rare coronary pattern where all three major arteries arose from all three aortic sinuses.
