Abstract
The arterial switch operation is now the procedure of choice for babies presenting with transposition of the great arteries. Recent experience documents that this operation can be performed safely for all coronary artery anatomic variations with very low operative mortality. This procedure should be offered to all babies presenting with this otherwise fatal condition. Expectations for operative survival are now approaching 100%.
