The influence of coronary anatomy on the arterial switch operation in neonates

RW Day, H Laks and DC Drinkwater
Division of Pediatric Cardiology, University of California, Los Angeles School of Medicine 90024.

To determine whether coronary anatomy influences the outcome of the neonatal arterial switch operation, we examined the results in all newborn infants (n = 70) with D-transposition of the great arteries who had a corrective operation at our institution between March 1987 and April 1991. The origin and distribution of coronary arteries were identified preoperatively by echocardiography, aortic root angiography, or selective coronary arteriography and intraoperatively by direct inspection. However, the arterial switch operation was performed independent of the coronary anatomy in all but two candidates for the operation. Four early deaths occurred and five surviving patients had symptoms of impaired cardiac function. No late deaths have occurred in patients followed up for 2 to 50 months. Evidence of myocardial ischemia was present in three of the four deaths and in four of the five patients with cardiovascular symptoms. Patients with commissural or intramural coronary origins between the great arteries had significantly greater cardiovascular morbidity and mortality because of coronary ischemia than patients with the most common coronary pattern. Thus coronary anatomy may influence surgical management and the postoperative course of newborn infants with transposition.
