Abstract:
The success of the arterial switch operation mostly depends on the proper relocation of the coronary arteries. This involves more than the simple suturing of the coronary cuff to the neo-aortic root, it also involves the preparation of the landing zone and the correct mobilisation of the primary coronary branches. In this tutorial, we present our technique for correction of a dextro-transposition of the great arteries with a normal, type A, coronary artery pattern.
