OBJECTIVE@#To introduce REV
procedure in
patients with transposition of the great
arteries (TGA) with a
ventricular septal defect (VSD) and
pulmonary stenosis (PS).@*
METHODS@#From May 2012 to June 2012, 4
patients with TGA were admitted for
surgery. Two
patients with VSD underwent SWITCH operation. REV
procedure was used for the other two
patients with PS. The
Senning procedure was also used for the
patient with atrioventricular discordance.@*RESULTS@#There was no
in-hospital mortality. Shortest
cardiopulmonary bypass time and aortic crossclamp
time were found in simple REV
procedure patient. Postoperative
echocardiography demonstrated physiologic
hemodynamics in the left ventricular outflow tract and normal
heart function. All the
patients were in excellent clinical condition during follow-up.@*CONCLUSION@#REV
procedure is a good choice for
transposition of great arteries associated with
ventricular septal defect and obstruction of the pulmonary outflow tract.
