title: [A case report--combined Jatene procedure and extended aortic arch reconstruction for the original Taussig-Bing malformation associated with hypoplastic aortic arch, subaortic stenosis and coarctation of the aorta].
abstract: A successful repair with combined Jatene procedure (Lecompte modification) and extended aortic arch reconstruction in a two-month-old boy with the original Taussig-Bing malformation, associated with hypoplastic aortic arch, subaortic stenosis and coarctation of the aorta was described. The ascending aorta was measuring 8 mm and the distal aortic arch was 4 mm in outer diameter. The interventricular rerouting was not feasible, because the infundibular septum was almost aligned to the interventricular septum. So that arterial switch operation was preferred. The primary interventricular foramen was enlarged by wedge resection and the secondary interventricular foramen was closed with a patch of preserved equire pericardium. An extensive patch angioplasty of entire aortic arch down to descending aorta was performed with a composite patch of Xenomedica (preserved equire pericardium) and Dacron velour. Hypertrophied muscle bundles were resected for relief of subaortic stenosis. Jatene procedure was then performed. During neo-pulmonary reconstruction, distal pulmonary orifice was shifted towards right to avoid kinking and compression on the coronary arteries. One stage correction consisting of Jatene procedure and extended aortic arch reconstruction was considered to be a procedure of choice in this type of complex anomalies.
