Successful Jatene operation for transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum. A case report.
A description of a successful Jatene operation in an infant with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum (Group I of TGA) is presented. It is presently believed that the Jatene operation should not be applied in the patient with TGA and intact ventricular septum. However, this report shows the feasibility of this procedure even for the patient in Group I of TGA.
