Abstract
- A 52 day-old male infant who had Taussig-Bing anomaly with coarctation of the aorta underwent initial palliative Damus-Kaye-Stansel (DKS) procedure including arch reconstruction because of suspected intramural coronary artery, size discrepancy of great arteries, potential subaortic stenosis, refractory pneumonia, and severe congestive heart failure. Total repair was done 44 months later, which was composed of VSD patch closure, DKS take-down, and arterial switch procedure. We report a successful case of DKS take-down and arterial switch operation for the reuse of native aortic and pulmonary valves rather than Rastelli-type procedure in a patient with Taussig-Bing anomaly having palliative DKS procedure.
