Abstract

Biventricular repair is challenging in patients with transposition of the great arteries and straddling of the atrioventricular valves. Biventricular repair is the preferred option because of its anatomical and physiological advantages. However, in cases where biventricular repair carries operative risks that are too high or cases with unsuitable intracardiac anatomy, univentricular heart repair may have to be chosen. We report a five-month-old male patient with transposition of the great arteries, an inlet ventricular septal defect and anomalous coronary anatomy who had previously undergone a pulmonary banding operation and balloon atrial septostomy. Successful biventricular repair was performed while the patient had straddling of the tricuspid valve.
