Abstract:
D-transposition of the great arteries with an aortopulmonary window is rare. Five cases have been previously reported. Arterial switch is the procedure of choice. We describe a new method of transferring coronaries making use of the aortopulmonary window and a pericardial patch to form a pouch.
