Summary

Complex congenital heart defects like TGA/DORV with VSD and PS can be treated with biventricular repair. This review details the Double-Root Translocation (DRT) and Half-Turned Truncal Switch (HTTS) techniques as viable alternatives.

Area of Science:

  • Congenital Cardiac Surgery
  • Pediatric Cardiology
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Transposition of Great Arteries (TGA) and Double-Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV) are complex congenital heart defects.
  • These conditions often present with Ventricular Septal Defect (VSD) and Pulmonary Stenosis (PS).
  • Treatment pathways include univentricular and biventricular repairs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review established biventricular repair techniques for TGA/DORV with VSD and PS.
  • To explore Double-Root Translocation (DRT) and Half-Turned Truncal Switch (HTTS) as alternative surgical options.
  • To provide detailed insights into the DRT and HTTS procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on biventricular repair strategies.

  • Detailed examination of the Double-Root Translocation (DRT) technique.
  • In-depth analysis of the Half-Turned Truncal Switch (HTTS) technique.

    • Main Results:

    • Established biventricular repairs include Rastelli, REV, pulmonary root translocation, and Nikaidoh procedures.
    • DRT and HTTS are emerging as promising alternative surgical approaches.
    • The review focuses on the specifics and potential benefits of DRT and HTTS.

    Conclusions:

    • Biventricular repair offers multiple surgical options for complex congenital heart defects.
    • DRT and HTTS represent valuable additions to the surgical armamentarium.
    • Further investigation into DRT and HTTS may refine treatment strategies for TGA/DORV with VSD and PS.
