Arterial Switch Operation for TGA – Restoring Normal Heart Function

Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) Repair Introduction

Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) is a serious congenital heart defect where the two main arteries leaving the heart are switched. TGA repair is a surgery done to correct this condition and restore normal blood flow. It is usually performed in infants soon after birth.

Precise Correction of Arterial Connections in TGA Repair

The TGA repair is commonly done using an arterial switch operation. In this procedure, the aorta and pulmonary artery are detached from their abnormal positions and reattached to their correct ventricles. The coronary arteries are also carefully moved and reconnected to the new aorta. The surgery is done under general anesthesia using a heart-lung bypass machine to temporarily take over the heart’s function. Surgeons use specialized tools like vascular clamps, cardioplegia cannulas, and fine surgical sutures. This procedure allows oxygen-rich blood to flow properly throughout the body, correcting the life-threatening condition.

Why it’s done?

• To treat newborns diagnosed with TGA, which causes oxygen-poor blood to circulate through the body.
• To prevent heart failure caused by the abnormal blood flow between the heart and lungs.
• To allow normal oxygen delivery to the brain and other vital organs.
• To improve survival and long-term heart function in infants with congenital heart disease.
