Abstract
Introduction. This paper presents the results of arterial switch operation in patients with Taussig–Bing anomaly, performed in the
period from 2008 to 2017 in the Children's City Hospital # 1, Saint-Petersburg.
Material and methods. The average age of children at the time of surgery was 4.1 ± 2.1 (2–7) days, weight 3.7 ± 0.7 (3.2–4.3) kg.
In 8 (40%) children anomaly was combined with aortic arch obstruction, 4 (20%) with subaortic obstruction, and 4 (20%) with multiple
ventricular septal defects (VSD).
Results. One patient died due to developed infectious complications. Long-term follow up was from 3 months to 9,5 years. There
was no long-term mortality. During the indicated time, 3 (15.7%) endovascular reinterventions were performed, 2 for aortic recoarctation
repair and in 1 case – stenting of the left pulmonary artery.
Conclusion. Primary correction of Taussig–Bing anomaly using the arterial switch technique demonstrates good survival and comparable
mid-term and long-term results in carrying out the arterial switch operation in patients with transposition of great arteries. The
presence of complex coronary anatomy does not prevent the implementation of this procedure and is not a risk factor of death.
