TI  - Anatomic repair of Taussig-Bing hearts.
PG  - III200-5
AB  - From 1978 through 1990, 27 consecutive patients underwent anatomic repair of 
      Taussig-Bing heart (TBH) malformation. Group 1 (seven patients) underwent 
      intraventricular repair by rerouting of the left ventricular blood stream through 
      a tunnel patch from the ventricular septal defect (VSD) to the aorta. Group 2 (20 
      patients) underwent an arterial switch with VSD closure. Indications for each 
      type of repair were based on the following criteria: when the great vessel 
      relation is more or less anteroposterior, repair is performed at the arterial 
      level; when side by side, the minimal tricuspid pulmonary valve distance is 
      evaluated; if less than aortic valve diameter or if there are abnormal tricuspid 
      chordae, repair is performed at the arterial level; if greater, pulmonary artery 
      banding is performed in order to wait until suitable weight for intraventricular 
      repair. The mean age at operation was 13.2 months. Coarctation of the aorta was 
      present in 12 patients, abnormal tricuspid chords in eight, and subaortic 
      stenosis in seven. The great vessels were in D-transposition in 12 patients, and 
      they were side by side in 15. Seventeen patients underwent previous palliative 
      surgery. Early (two patients, 7.4%) and late (two patients, 8%) mortality rates 
      were related in group 1 to subaortic stenosis and in group 2 to myocardial 
      infarction. Mean follow-up of 40 +/- 24 months was achieved in 22 survivors. They 
      were all in New York Heart Association (NYHA) class I, without medication. 
      Actuarial survival and freedom from reoperation rates were, respectively, at 5 
      years 73 +/- 14.6% and 58 +/- 13% (70% confidence limits [CL]).(ABSTRACT
