Description
Transposition of the great arteries with a ventricular septal defect and an associated aortopulmonary window is a rare anatomic combination having a high risk for pulmonary hypertension. Arterial switch with closure of the ventricular septal defect and repair of the aortopulmonary window is the procedure of choice, but a postoperative pulmonary hypertensive crisis is a common occurrence associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This report describes one case of such an anatomic lesion, which was repaired successfully with a fenestrated ventricular septal defect patch as an adjunct to decrease the risk of a postoperative pulmonary hypertensive crisis.
