Neo-aortic valve replacement in arterial switch operation in a 9-year-old child
摘要
The surgical management of d-transposition of the great arteries (dTGA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) poses intricate challenges, demanding tailored surgical interventions. This case report elucidates a patient involving a 9-year-old child with dTGA, VSD, and LVOTO with a dysplastic pulmonary valve with adequate annulus who underwent neo-aortic valve replacement with a mechanical prosthesis, arterial switch, and VSD closure. The recovery of the patient was uneventful and follow-up echocardiogram and clinical evaluation at 18 months have remained satisfactory. We describe the clinical details of this unusual approach for management of dTGA, VSD, and LVOTO.
