Abstract

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.
