Abstract:
Arterial switch operation for transposition of great arteries (TGA) is the choice of surgical treatment for this condition. Conventional "open" coronary transfer technique has been commonly employed with good results in experienced hands. A modified "closed" technique of coronary transfer, with a more accurate coronary artery placement taking into account a distended aorta, along with anterior interrupted sutures to reduce purse stringing and other advantages is described.
