Objective To summarize clinical experience of a single stage surgical approach on patients with TaussigBing anomaly combined with side by side relationship of great arteries. Methods From May 2000 to Sep. 2007, 26 patients (age 3.1±2.2 months) with TaussigBing anomaly with side by side great arteries underwent the single stage operation, including arterial switch operation (n=25), and Kawashima operation (n=1). Aortic arch obstruction was present in 13 patients. The corrections of aortic arch obstruction included descending aorta end to end anastomosis to aortic arch or end to side anastomosis to ascending aorta. Results The hospital mortality rate was 11.5% (3/26). There was no operative death in continuous 15 patients after Jun. 2005. 21 patients were followed up for 1 to 5 years. The patients’ growth and development were improved obviously. The sizes of the hearts were smaller than those before operations. The pulmonary blood flow was decreased obviously. Two patients required re-operations because of supravalvular pulmonary stenosis. Conclusion Taussig-Bing anomaly with side by side great arteries has complex anatomical characters. In order to improve the operative outcomes, the optimized operative strategies should be considered in according with different anatomies.
