title: Primary repair of transposition of the great arteries with interrupted aortic arch.
abstract: Primary repair of transposition of the great arteries with interrupted aortic arch was performed in a 2 day old neonate weighing 2.1 kg. The repair consisted of a direct anastomosis between the ascending and the descending aorta and an arterial switch repair without Lecompte procedure because of the side by side position of the great arteries and an anomaly of the coronary arteries. A total of 28 months after the repair, the patient remains in excellent clinical condition.
