Abstract
We report a successful modification of the Damus-Kaye-Stansel operatio n for transposition of the great arteries when the coronary arteries a re unsuitable for transfer, The procedure includes creation of a neoao rta with end-to-end anastomosis of the proximal pulmonary artery to th e distal ascending aorta and creation of an aortopulmonary window betw een the proximal great arteries. A valved conduit is interposed betwee n the right ventricle and the distal pulmonary artery.
