We have successfully performed a two-stage Jatene procedure in four patients who showed severe anatomical right ventricular dysfunction after atrial switch (Mustard or Senning) operation for transposition of the great arteries. All four patients developed an adequate left ventricular pressure for the arterial switch operation by one or two-stage pulmonary artery banding. Left ventricular posterior wall thickness increased sufficiently enough after the banding although left ventricular ejection fraction showed significant decrease. After Jatene procedure left ventricular ejection fraction recovered, and RV end-diastolic volume which had been prominently enlarged preoperatively was dramatically normalized. Cardiac index increased from 3.6 +/- 1.6 l/min/m2 preoperatively to 5.3 +/- 6.1 l/min/m2 postoperatively with the decrease in left atrial pressure. Postoperative electrophysiological study revealed the recovery of sinus node function and atrial conduction by means of the take-down of atrial switch operation previously performed. We conclude that the Jatene procedure should be an ideal alternative in patients with right ventricular dysfunction after atrial switch operation. The left ventricle could be prepared by an effective pulmonary artery banding in most instances.
