Key result
The Aubert operation was successfully performed in a patient with transposition of the great arteries and a single interarterial coronary artery arising from a posterior sinus.
Case Report (n=1)
The Aubert operation can be successfully utilized for transposition of the great arteries with complex atypical coronary patterns.
Supports feasibility of Aubert operation for TGA with atypical coronaries; leaves open need for further evidence before wider adoption.
The arterial switch operation is currently the gold standard technique for repair of transposition of the great arteries. Some atypical coronary patterns such as intramural, interarterial, and a unique posterior button are associated with more complexity and surgical risk. We report a successful Aubert operation for transposition of the great arteries associated with a single and interarterial coronary artery arising from a posterior sinus.
