Double-switch operation for congenitally corrected transposition and Ebstein's malformation

Cardiol Young. 1999 May;9(3):319-22. doi: 10.1017/s1047951100005011.

Abstract

An infant is described with congenitally corrected transposition and Ebstein's malformation. Banding of the pulmonary trunk had been previously performed because of a muscular ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent the double-switch procedure with the intention of unloading the morphologically right ventricle and the malformed tricuspid valve. This resulted in prompt postoperative functional and haemodynamic improvement.
