Double-switch operation for congenitally corrected transposition and Ebstein's malformation.
An infant is described with congenitally corrected transposition and Ebstein's malformation. Banding of the pulmonary trunk had been previously performed because of a muscular ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent the double-switch procedure with the intention of unloading the morphologically right ventricle and the malformed tricuspid valve. This resulted in prompt postoperative functional and haemodynamic improvement.
