Trans--pulmonary artery repair of ventricular septal defect associated with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
This report documents successful trans-pulmonary artery repair of ventricular septal defect (VSD) in 2 patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, one patient having associated subpulmonic stenosis. In selected cases, the method of repair that is described offers significant advantages over techniques employing transventricular or transatrial access to the VSD.
