Arterial switch operations (ASO) are lifesaving procedures performed on neonates to treat transposition of the great arteries. However, future operations on the neoaorta may be required due to dilation. We present a case of a 25-year-old female who presented with dilation of her neoaorta and required a David procedure. Her previous ASO resulted in an anterior lie of the pulmonary artery in front of the neoaorta, with both coronary arteries coming off anteriorly. We describe our approach to performing a David procedure on this patient with this unique anatomy.
动脉调转手术(ASO)是一种对新生儿进行的救命手术,用于治疗大动脉转位。然而,由于主动脉扩张,可能需要对新主动脉进行未来的手术。我们报告了一例 25 岁女性患者,因新主动脉扩张而需要进行 David 手术。她之前的 ASO 导致肺动脉位于新主动脉前方的前位,两支冠状动脉均从前侧发出。我们描述了对这位具有这种独特解剖结构的患者进行 David 手术的方法。
