Abstract
Primary repair of transposition of the great arteries with interrupted aortic arch was performed in a 2 day old neonate weighing 2.1 k.g. Th e repair consisted of a direct anastomosis between the ascending and t he descending aorta and an arterial switch repair without Lecompte pro cedure because of the side by side position of the great arteries and an anomaly of the coronary arteries. A total of 28 months after the re pair, the patient remains in excellent clinical condition. (C) 1998 El sevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
