[Successful repair of TGA with ventricular septal defect, the outflow tract stenosis of the left ventricle and coarctation of the aortic arch].
A 9-month-old boy after the coarctectomy at 5 months old was successfully repaired by Senning procedure with closure of ventricular septal defect and resection of the membranous septal aneurysm causing the outflow tract stenosis of the left ventricle. Retrospectively, this case might have been possible to do Jatene procedure, however, attempts to resect the left ventricular outflow tract stenosis often failed to relieve stenosis completely. Therefore, the intraatrial switch operation seems to be better than the arterial switch operation when there is a possibility to remain left ventricular outflow tract stenosis. True estimation for these cases must await more case studies.
