Successful intracardiac repair of the Taussig-Bing malformation in 2 children.
Surgical repair of the Taussig-Bing deformity has been successful in 2 children weighting 7.7 and 11.1 kg, respectively. In the first case the right ventricular patch divered left ventricular blood to the pulmonary arter, thus creating a physiologically complete transposition which was then corrected by an interatrial Mustard baffle. In the second case a right ventricular tunnel diverted left ventricular blood to the aorta, and right ventricular blood was directed to the distal pulmonary artery by means of an external conduit bypassing a subpulmonic stenosis. These patients represent the seventh and eighth successful corrections of the Taussig-Bing anomaly. One case (Patient 2) is the youngest to undergo repair and the first to receive an external conduit for bypass of an associated subpulmonic stenosis.
