title: [Novel coronary transfer technique for transposition of the great arteries with Planché type II coronary anatomy].
abstract: The arterial switch operation has evolved to become the treatment of choice for most of transposition of the great arteries and some types of double outlet right ventricle. Technical improvement in the coronary transfer is the major contribution to the evolution of this procedure. We proposed a novel technique of coronary transfer for the patients with rare but difficult coronary anatomy of Planché type II. We believe it could become one of the options of coronary transfer technique and contribute to the completion of arterial switch operation with uncommon coronary artery patterns.
