Abstract:
The arterial switch operation is considered as standard therapy for isolated D-transposition of the great arteries. However, in under-developed countries, patients still present with D-transposition of the great arteries beyond the neonatal age redering them unsuitable for anatomical repair. These children are often offered physiological repair, i.e. Senning or Mustard procedure. We describe our experience of a successful Senning procredure in a 4.6-year girl, who had atrial and visceral situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia and d-transposition of the great arteries. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of this operation in a patient with such unique anatomy.
