Right ventricular dysfunction after atrial repair for transposition of the great arteries is common. This study details a successful multi-stage surgical approach for left ventricular retraining in a 5-year-old girl.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Congenital Heart Surgery

Background:

  • Atrial switch procedures for transposition of the great arteries can lead to right ventricular dysfunction and tricuspid valve issues.
  • Left ventricular retraining offers a surgical solution but may necessitate a staged approach.

Observation:

  • A 5-year-old girl with post-atrial repair complications was considered for surgical intervention.
  • The patient presented with significant right ventricular dysfunction and tricuspid valve incompetence.

Findings:

  • A successful multiple-stage surgical strategy was employed for left ventricular retraining.
  • This approach effectively addressed the anatomical and functional challenges post-atrial switch.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates the feasibility and success of multi-stage surgery for complex congenital heart defects.
