A new technique for correction of the Taussig-Bing anomaly

A 3-year-old underwent successful correction of the Taussig-Bing anomaly. A physiologically complete transposition of the great arteries, was created initially, and then the technique described by Stansel and Kaye for repair of "simple" transposition was used. A good overall clinical result was achieved, although the postoperative arterial oxygen saturation was low 78%, probably largely because of established pulmonary vascular obstructive disease (PVOD).
