Overview
Corrective Surgery
Arterial switch operations (ASO) are now-days preferred over Atrial switch procedures (Mustard and Senning Operations) because of the following reasons-
- Arterial switch procedure are comparatively easier to perform
- ASO have similar survival benefits compared to atrial switch procedure
- Decreased risk of complications like arrhythmias and heart failure in ASO compared to atrial switch procedures
- Decreased peri-operative mortality in ASO compared to atrial switch procedures
Salient features of surgery are
- It is best to perform the ASO as early as possible in the children. Most infants undergo definitive repair within the first 2 weeks of life.
- The type of surgical procedure done depends on the type of lesion the child has i.e. simple or complex transposition of the great arteries.
- The general rules that are followed are-
- Simple D-TGA (D-TGA without any associated lesion)- Arterial switch operation (ASO).
- D-TGA plus ventricular septal defect-Arterial switch operation (ASO) and VSD closure.
- D-TGA plus large VSD plus pulmonary stenosis - Rastelli procedure
