[Results of anatomical correction of simple transposition of the great vessels in 46 newborn infants].

Between the 4th April 1984 and 6th December 1984, a strategy of anatomical correction of transposition of the great arteries was undertaken in the newborn if three criteria were respected: parental consent, patient's age of less than 15 days and satisfactory left ventricular geometry. We report our results in 47 consecutive cases operated by the same surgeon at an average age of 8.2 +/- 5.3 days. Atrioseptostomy was performed in all cases before surgery, with a ratio of left to right systolic ventricular pressures greater than 0.66 (m = 0.8) and an infusion of prostaglandin E1 was maintained until surgery in 40 cases. The geometry of the left ventricle assessed by echocardiography was considered to be normal in 23 cases, satisfactory in 22 cases and unfavourable in 2 cases. Except for one case with the great vessels situated in the frontal plane in which an atrial correction was decided upon during surgery, all the patients underwent detransposition under cardiopulmonary bypass without cardiac arrest, irrespective of the coronary anatomy. The pulmonary tract was reconstructed by direct anastomosis with a piece of tanned (first 25 cases) or autologous (following 21 cases) pericardium. There were 18 immediate deaths (17%) but only 4 out of 37 after September 1984 (11%); the causes of failure were: 5 technical errors, 1 irreducible postoperative pulmonary hypertension and 2 probable left ventricular failures. The 38 survivors were followed up for an average of 6.8 +/- 5.4 months (range 1 to 21 months; 28 cases were followed up for over 3 months).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Transposition of the great vessels: a series of three cases with a review of the literature.

Improvements in surgical techniques have led to increased survival in transposition of the great vessels. We present three women who required anaesthetic management for labour analgesia, instrumental delivery and evacuation of retained products; the literature is reviewed with regard to anaesthetic techniques and maternal outcome, and recommendations made for the management of this increasingly common condition.

Transcatheter occlusion of baffle leaks following atrial switch procedures for transposition of the great vessels (d-TGV).

Baffle-related complications following atrial switch procedures for transposition are relatively common. Transcatheter treatment of baffle stenosis has an established role as a therapeutic modality. However, transcatheter device closure of atrial baffles leaks has rarely been reported. We report four patients who underwent device closure of baffle leaks using the Amplatzer septal occluder following atrial switch procedures in order to demonstrate the safety and utility of this method of treatment and to establish its role as a suitable alternative to surgical closure.

[Outcome of anatomical correction of transposition of the great vessels in the neonatal period].

Between february 1992 to January 1994, anatomic correction was performed on 15 patients with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum. The mean age was 8.3 +/- 2.9 days and the mean weight 3.39 +/- 0.39 Kg. Before the operation, 13 patients (86.6%) received prostaglandin El infusion and 13 patients (86.6%) underwent Rashkind septostomy. Mean aortic cross-clamps was 56 +/- 11 minutes and mean cardiopulmonary bypass was 108 +/- 91 minutes. Hospital mortality rate was 13%. Mean extubation period was mean discharge from ICU was 13.1 +/- 12.3 days and discharge of hospital was 17.8 +/- 7.5 days. The mean followup period was 11.4 months. All the patients remained asymptomatic with adequate psychomotor and ponderal development. All patients remained in sinus rhythm. Pulmonary suture gradient was over 60 mm Hg in five patients (33%). One patient needed reintervention and four pulmonary artery angioplasty (PAA) that was successful. In the midterm follow-up pulmonary stenosis suture was the most common complication. If the stenosis is severe and PAA should be the initial approach.

[The implantation of a sequential endocavitary pacemaker in a patient with transposition of the great vessels after the Mustard correction].

A 31-year-old male patient, underwent Mustard operation in childhood for complete transposition of the great arteries. He required a sequential (DDD-mode) pacemaker due to a complete symptomatic auriculoventricular block, 25 years after the operation. Wires were inserted through the left cephalic vein and placed in the systemic atrium and ventricle, achieving correct sensing and stimulating thresholds. Atrial rhythm disturbances, specially sinus node dysfunction, are frequent after Mustard's operation and increase through the years following the surgical procedure. Atrioventricular conduction disturbances are rare. Treatment by endocavitary pacemaker implies a correct knowledge of the special anatomy in this congenital disease and its surgical correction.

An evaluation of range gated pulsed Doppler echocardiography for detecting pulmonary outflow tract obstruction in d-transposition of the great vessels.

The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of range gated pulsed Doppler (RGPD) echocardiography for detecting obstruction to the pulmonary outflow tract in children with d-transposition of the great vessels (d-TGV). Twenty-one children were randomly selected for those available with d-TGV and were studied by precordial and suprasternal RGPD echocardiography. Three were excluded, leaving a population of 18 subjects. The exclusive criterion used to judge the RGPD results was the output of the time interval histogram (TIH). Coherence of the TIH was considered to represent laminar flow. Dispersion of the TIH was considered evidence of flow disturbance and obstruction to the outflow tract. With the range gating feature, the first site of disturbance could be localized. Information was handled by a technique that decreased bias. RGPD results were then compared to diagnoses of the outflow tract established at cardiac catheterization or operation. Comparison of these results indicated that all seven children with obstruction were correctly identified by RGPD study, and the level of the first obstruction was correctly identified. With one exception, all children without pulmonary obstruction were correctly identified by the examination.
