Abstract
We report the cases of two neonates with transposition of the great arteries, whose surgical correction consisted of translocation of the aortic root with the aortic valve and coronary arteries to the left ventricle and translocation of the pulmonary root with the pulmonary valve to the right ventricle. We believe that the aortic translocation may reduce the likelihood of dilatation of the neoaorta, aortic regurgitation, and changes in the endothelium of coronary arteries which have occasionally been seen following arterial switch operations.
