Abstract

The arterial switch operation has become the surgical treatment of choice for patients with transposition of the great vessels. The risk of correction in experienced hands is below 5 % and depends mainly on a successful coronary transfer. Corrective surgery means an anatomical repair of the congenital malformation with connection of the left systemic ventricle to the ascending aorta, repair of additional defects and connection of the right ventricle to the pulmonary artery. The Lecompte maneuver was introduced into surgical therapy in order to facilitate surgical repair by bringing the pulmonary bifurcation in front of the neoaorta.
