Abstract

The management of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and associated lesions is frequently challenging. Restrictive ventricular septal defect and mild pulmonary stenosis are contraindications to the double switch procedure, including the atrial-Rastelli switch procedure, due to the production of postoperative left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We describe a case of aortic translocation using the hemi-Mustard procedure after left ventricular training in order to prevent postoperative left ventricular outflow obstruction.
