Abstract

This article from the Fuwai Hospital of Beijing is a report of a new operation: the double root translocation applied to double-outlet right ventricle with noncommitted ventricular septal defect (DORV-nc-VSD) and Taussig-Bing; both with pulmonary stenosis (PS) [1]. The aortic translocation is considered today by many centers as the optimal technique for repair of transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis (TGA-VSD-PS). The double root translocation technique removes en bloc the two aortopulmonary roots and the conal septum and is emerging as an interesting new technique.
