Does a combined atrial and arterial switch procedure improve functional results in symptomatic children with congenitally corrected transposition and ventricular septal defect?
A combined atrial and arterial switch procedure in children with congenitally corrected transposition and ventricular septal defect is feasible, with no early or late deaths and improved functional class in this initial experience.
Stümper et al. (1995) conducted a case report in Congenitally corrected transposition with ventricular septal defect (n=4). Combined atrial and arterial switch procedure was evaluated on Immediate and early follow up results (mortality, functional class, cardiothoracic ratio). A combined atrial and arterial switch procedure in 4 children with congenitally corrected transposition resulted in no deaths and excellent functional outcomes at a mean follow-up of 12 months.
