Surgical treatment of transposition of great arteries with interrupted pulmonary artery: a rare association of embryopathies.
The first case of TGA with VSD, ASD, and interrupted LPA and its successful surgical treatment is being reported along with a review of the relevant literature. The dominant presenting clinical features have been explained and an attempt has been made to explain the paucity of records in regard to this embryopathy. An arterial switch for TGA and a glutaraldehyde pretreated autologous pericardial roll for repair of interrupted LPA were carried out. Pre- and postoperative hemodynamics and angiography data are also presented.
