Between August 1985 and May 1990, 27 neonates and infants underwent combined correction of intracardiac and aortic arch anomalies through a median sternotomy. Coarctation (CoA) was combined with VSD (6), AVSD (2), Taussig-Bing (TB) heart (5), transposition of the great arteries (TGA) (1), TGA + VSD (2), congenitally corrected TGA + VSD (1) and VSD + myxoid stenotic outlet valves (1). Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) was combined with VSD (10) and TB heart (1). Two patients had IAA type B as well as CoA. Age at operation varied from 2 to 243 days with a mean age of 51 days. Twenty patients (70%) were younger than 30 days. One TGA + VSD and all TB hearts had maligned outlet septum and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO). Posterior outlet septum deviation and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) occurred in 8 patients with malalignment VSD and IAA (7) or CoA (1). Aortic arch reconstruction was performed using extended end-to-end anastomoses. In 3 patients, arch hypoplasia necessitated patch implantation. VSDs were closed through the right atrium unless the anatomy dictated otherwise. One TB heart was reconstructed with a Kawashima procedure. All other TB hearts and all TGAs were corrected with arterial switch operation. Obstructing outlet septum was resected whenever necessary. Follow-up was complete and included echo-Doppler control. Eleven patients had postoperative heart catheterisation. Early mortality was 18.5% (5 patients). Persisting LVOTO or RVOTO was responsible. There was no late mortality. Five patients were reoperated upon: 3 for stenotic anastomoses and 2 for a subaortic membranous stenosis. Successful balloon dilatation of recoarctation was performed four times.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
