Why the study?
Primary repair of transposition of the great arteries with interrupted aortic arch in neonates is rarely reported and requires detailed description of surgical approach and outcomes.
Case Report (n=1)
Primary repair of transposition of the great arteries with interrupted aortic arch using direct anastomosis and arterial switch without Lecompte procedure can be successfully performed in a low-weight neonate.
Primary repair of transposition of the great arteries with interrupted aortic arch was performed in a 2 day old neonate weighing 2.1 kg. The repair consisted of a direct anastomosis between the ascending and the descending aorta and an arterial switch repair without Lecompte procedure because of the side by side position of the great arteries and an anomaly of the coronary arteries. A total of 28 months after the repair, the patient remains in excellent clinical condition.
