[Biventricular repair for right isomerism associated with transposition of great arteries and common atrioventricular canal].

Abstract

A 5-years old boy, whose thoracic situs was right isomerism, was diagnosed as transposition of great arteries, common atrioventricular canal (intermediate type), severe tricuspid valve regurgitation, pulmonary valve stenosis, bilateral superior vena cava and left sided inferior vena cava. The preoperative RVEDV was 95% and LVEDV 160%, and LV/RV pressure ratio was 0.54. Atrial rerouting using pericardial patch, replacement of tricuspid valve and pulmonary valvotomy were performed. Postoperative course was uneventful. This was a rare case of right isomerism who received biventricular repair.
