<p>We present an operative technique video of the anatomic
repair of congenitally corrected transposition (ccTGA) with ventricular septal
defect (VSD), pulmonary atresia (PS), and mild right ventricular hypoplasia in
a 2-year-old palliated with a 3.5mm rmBTS (and coronary artery fistula
ligation) in the neonatal period, followed by a rmBTS takedown and
bidirectional Glenn shunt at 4m/o.</p>
<p>Morphologic left-ventricle-to-aorta (mLV-to-Ao) baffling:
The VSD was inspected through a vertical ventriculotomy along the morphologic
RVOT. The mLV-to-Ao baffle was created with bovine pericardium. The inlet
portion of the VSD was closed with interrupted, pledget-supported braided
sutures to avoid tricuspid chords. The remainder of the baffle was completed
with continuous 5-0 Prolenes that were placed on either side of the interrupted
sutures.</p>
<p>Hemi-Mustard: The septum primum and limbus of the septum
secundum were excised. The coronary sinus was unroofed to minimize chance of
obstruction. A bovine patch was sewn from the lateral edge of the tricuspid
valve across the atrial septum to around the IVC.</p>
<p>There was an anterior leaflet cleft in the mitral valve that
was closed with interrupted Gore-Tex sutures.</p>
<p>Rastelli: The RVOT was reconstructed with a trileaflet
valved-ePTFE conduit constructed during the operation. Previous MPA stump patch
was removed and defect was extended onto LPA. The distal end was anastomosed to
the branch pulmonary arteries on the left side of the aorta. The proximal end
was anastomosed to the RVOT with an anterior bovine pericardial hood.</p>
<p>Post-op TEE showed good biventricular function and no
significant tricuspid or mitral regurgitation. There was no mLV-to-Ao or atrial
baffle obstruction. There was no RVOT gradient nor insufficiency.</p>
