Transatrial correction of origin of both great vessels from right ventricle with pulmonary hypertension.
The operative treatment of seven patients with origin of both great vessels from the right ventricle plus pulmonary hypertension is discussed. Except for one patient with an atrioventricular canal type of ventricular septal defect (VSD), all patients had subaortic VSDs. All had transatrial repair, and none died. The clinical and operative findings and the merits of a transatrial approach are discussed.
