En Bloc Rotation of the Outflow Tracts - Double Root Translocation.
En bloc rotation of the outflow tracts or double root translocation offers an anatomic repair of transposition of the great arteries, ventricular septal defect, and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and closely related forms of double outlet right ventricle. The technical principle is to excise aortic and pulmonary root en bloc, rotate them as a whole by 180°, and reimplant them. The left ventricular outflow tract is enlarged with the patch closing the ventricular septal defect. In our experience, two thirds of the pulmonary valves could be preserved. Growth of the aortic and pulmonary root could be demonstrated in several studies performed by our group. It is still a complex and technically demanding procedure with long cardiopulmonary bypass periods and cross-clamp times. However, perioperative mortality and complications do not differ significantly from other forms of reconstruction. The reoperation rate is significantly lower. Presently, the best time to perform this operation seems to be after the newborn period within the first year of life.
