A NEW APPROACH TO CORRECTION OF D-LOOP TRANSPOSITION OF THE GREAT ARTERIES.
An operative procedure is described for repair of transposition of the great arteries in which the left ventricle is the "aortic" ventricle and the right ventricle is the "pulmonic" ventricle. The technical feasibility of this procedure is supported by its successful application in experimental animals. A modified procedure, which may be applicable in certain complex forms of transposition of the great arteries and other perplexing anomalies for which there are no known repairs, is discussed.
