[Taussig-Bing anomaly. Intraventricular correction in an infant. Review of the literature].
A successful operation in a 22-month-old baby with the Taussig-Bing anomaly is reported. The operation consisted of a intraventricular rerouting of the left ventricular blood through the ventricular septal defect to the aorta via an intraventricular dacron conduit sutured to the sub-pulmonary conus posteriorly. The patient was recatheterized 3 months after surgery and there was no sub-aortic or sub-pulmonary obstruction. There was residual pulmonary artery hypertension and a residual shunt that was successfully closed at reoperation. Among 41 surgical cases of TB anomaly reported in the literature, 6 only have had this kind of repair with 3 deaths. The present case is the youngest patient successfully operated upon by this technique. The three basic surgical options in the Taussig-Bing anomaly are discussed, along with the anatomic conditions that permit intraventricular conduit repair, which appears to be theoretically the best surgical approach.
