Abstract:
Objective To summarize the coronary artery pattem of arterial switch operation(ASO),operative skill and surgical results.Methods Between October 1999 to October 2005,102 patients underwent arterial switch operation.The mean age was(8? 16)months ranged from 3 days to 7 years.The mean body weight was(5.9?3.2)kg,ranged from 2.5 kg to 20.0 kg.Most com- monly(74/102),the aorta was more or less to the right of the pulmonary artery.In 10 patients,the aorta was directly anterior to the pulmonary artery,and in 11 patients,the aorta was to the left of the pulmonary artery.The great arteries were side by side in 7 pa- tients.We used Leiden classification for coronary artery pattern by operative descriptions.The most prevalent coronary pattern [1LCx2R]was found in 69(67.6%),abnormal coronary artery pattern in 33(32.3%).Intramural course of coronary artery was fotmd In three patients.The Leeampte maneuver was used in all cases.In most patients,the "open trap door" or "bay window" tech- nique for coronary osfia transfer.Results Total mortality rate was 14.7 %(15 eases),6 cases(8.7 %)with normal coronary pattem and 9(27.3%)deaths 33 patients with abnormal coronary pattern.3 cases with coronary event occurred in 5 deaths of simple rIGA, 4 cases with coronary event in 6 deaths of complex TGA and 3 eases with coronary event in 4 deaths of Taussing-Bing anomaly.Con- clusion Complex coronary artery anatomy increases the operative risk.With experience or improving surgical technique,we may get better results.
