[Norwood procedure with swing-back technique for double-inlet left ventricle, transposition of great arteries, coarctation of aorta, subaortic stenosis].
Patient is 1 month old, 3.72 kg boy, he was diagnosed as {S, L, L} double-inlet left ventricle (DILV), transposition of the great arteries, coarctation of aorta, rudimentary right ventricle. Patient was undergone Norwood procedure, with "swing-back technique"; end-to end anastomosis of ascending aorta with descending aorta, double-barreled style Damus-Kaye-Stansel (DKS), end-to side anastomosis of neoaorta to aortic arch. This technique has following advantages over other reported technique; discrepancy of great arteries were resolved without distortion ; reconstruction of the aorta without the use of patch materials: minimal length suture line to minimize the risk of bleeding; and more radical excision of ductal tissue without much dissection and mobilization of descending aorta.
