[Intracardiac repair in anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries (SDL): report on 2 successful repair].
Two cases of anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries (SDL) with aorto-mitral fibrous continuity and pulmonary-tricuspid discontinuity are presented. Case 1 was a 24-year-old male with an associated ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary stenosis. Case 2 was a 1-year-old boy also with VSD. Both cases successfully underwent total correction. The aorto-mitral fibrous continuity was verified in both cases through right ventriculotomy during the operation. The postoperative course was uneventful in both cases and they have remained asymptomatic 5 years after operation. We believe this report to be the first one of anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries with aorto-mitral fibrous continuity.
