Abstract
-
We report a successful biventricular repair of D-transposition of great arteries, pulmonary
stenosis and remote muscular inlet ventricular septal defect, after modifie Blalock-Taussing
shunt early in infant. A long left ventricle-to-aorta intraventricular rerouting tunnel was
created without stenosis by transferring the medial papillary muscle of the tricuspid valve
to the tunnel, obliterating the trabeculation of right ventricle in the course of tunnel and
excising the secondary chordae of the tricuspid valve.
