Association of d-transposition of the great arteries and complete atrio-ventricular canal constitutes an uncommon and complex cardiac anomaly usually associated with poor prognosis. We report our experience on one-stage neonatal repair for d-transposition of the great arteries and complete atrio-ventricular canal. Between August 1997 and 2005, four patients (two males and two females) underwent anatomical correction for d-transposition of the great arteries and complete atrio-ventricular canal using an arterial switch procedure and two-patch repair. Mean age and weight at operation were 20 days (range from 3 to 28 days) and 3.2kg (range from 2.7 to 3.5kg), respectively. None of the patients received preoperative palliative procedure. Associated lesions were left outflow tract obstruction in three patients and multiple muscular ventricular septal defects in two patients. All four patients survived the operation. There was one in-hospitality death due to fungal sepsis. One patient required late re-operation for left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and left atrio-ventricular valve regurgitation. For a mean follow-up of 67 months (range from 51 to 90 months) all patients are asymptomatic and with no residual defects. Corrective repair of d-transposition of the great arteries and complete atrio-ventricular canal can be successfully achieved in this very challenging population during the neonatal period.
