Abstract
Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGAs) represents a complex form of congenital heart disease that is associated with several cardiac complications. Herein is a case series of three children with ccTGA and ventricular assist device (VAD) inserted for systemic right ventricle failure at a single institution. All patients remained hemodynamically stable postimplant and were successfully discharged from the intensive care unit to undergo postoperative rehabilitation. All three patients received an orthotopic heart transplant with uneventful posttransplant courses. This case series provides insight into the medical management and technical feasibility of VAD support in children with ccTGA with end-stage heart failure.
