Transposition with atypical coronary pattern: the Aubert technique

Cardiol Young. 2017 Jul;27(5):1022-1025. doi: 10.1017/S1047951117000063. Epub 2017 Mar 6.

Abstract

The arterial switch operation is currently the gold standard technique for repair of transposition of the great arteries. Some atypical coronary patterns such as intramural, interarterial, and a unique posterior button are associated with more complexity and surgical risk. We report a successful Aubert operation for transposition of the great arteries associated with a single and interarterial coronary artery arising from a posterior sinus.
