    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Surgical Innovation

    Context:

    • Arterial switch is a surgical technique for blood vessel connection.
    • It is utilized for organ perfusion, particularly kidneys.
    • It is also applied in treating congenital heart defects and coronary artery disease.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the arterial switch technique and its applications.
    • To present a novel variant for Tetralogy of Fallot correction.
    • To highlight its efficacy in coronary artery bypass surgery.

    Summary:

    • The arterial switch technique involves end-to-end and end-to-side suturing of vessels with different diameters.
    • A specific variant, the intrapericardial subclavian to pulmonary artery anastomosis, is proposed for Tetralogy of Fallot.
    • The principle is fundamental to coronary artery bypass surgery using mammary artery grafts.

    Impact:

    • The arterial switch technique has found broad application in reconstructive surgery.
    • It offers advantages over traditional methods for specific cardiac conditions.
    • It represents an effective treatment for coronary artery stenoses.
