A successful procedure for correction of the Taussig-Bing malformation.
We report upon a successful procedure for surgical correction of the Taussig-Bing malformation. This procedure consisted of resection of the aortic conal septum and direction of left ventricular blood flow through the ventricular septal defect to the aorta by use of a nonvalved conduit (14 mm in diameter) in the right ventricle. The patient survived the operation and postoperative hemodynamics were excellent 10 months postoperatively.
