Transposition of the Great Arteries With Aortopulmonary Window: Arterial Switch Operation

Transposition of the great arteries with aortopulmonary window is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly. An arterial switch operation with repair of the aortopulmonary window is the preferred operation in this subset. As the tissue between the great arteries is missing, it is considered a complex operation. The purpose of this video is to present the authors' experience of a simple yet highly effective surgical technique for the management of this rare complex cardiac defect. The operative technique used is detailed in the video.
