Abstract
Objective This study was designed to investigate the relationship of the coronary anatomy pattern in 56 arterial switch operation (ASO) with the early outcome.Methods From May 2010 to September 2013,a total of 56 patients with transposition of the great arteries complicated with other defomities(39 males and 17 females,with age of 5 days to 126 months),who were undertook ASO in Capital Medical University affiliated Beijing Anzhen Hospital.There were 19 patients with complete transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum,35 patients with complete transposition of the great arteries and ventricular septal defect.and 1 patient with double outlet right ventricle with subpulmonary ventricular septal defect (Taussing-Bing).33 were complicated with atrial septal defect and 26 with patent ductus arteriosus,20 had severe pulmonary hypertension,2 had pumonic valve stenosis and 1 had coarctatioin of aorta.All patients undertook ASO,coronay distribution were detected during the procedure and coronary artery were grafed.Results Coronary artery:Yacoub type A were 46 cases:4 patients died during the 30 days after the operation,Yacoub type B were 5 cases:2 patients died.Yacoub type C were 2 cases:1 died of low cardiac output on the operating day.Yacoub type D were 1 case and Yacoub type E were 2 cases:none of them died.Conclusion Patients with common coronary variants have undergone ASO without added mortality rate.Those with intramural or single coronary arteries have significant added mortality rate. Key words: Arterial switch operation; Heart septal defects, ventricular
