[REV procedure for complex congenital heart diseases]

To introduce REV procedure in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary stenosis (PS).

From May 2012 to June 2012, 4 patients with TGA were admitted for surgery. Two patients with VSD underwent SWITCH operation. REV procedure was used for the other two patients with PS. The Senning procedure was also used for the patient with atrioventricular discordance.

There was no in-hospital mortality. Shortest cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic crossclamp time were found in simple REV procedure patient. Postoperative echocardiography demonstrated physiologic hemodynamics in the left ventricular outflow tract and normal heart function. All the patients were in excellent clinical condition during follow-up.

REV procedure is a good choice for transposition of great arteries associated with ventricular septal defect and obstruction of the pulmonary outflow tract.
