“…The patient is a 22-year-old student nurse with TGA and a small ventricular septal defect who had undergone a Baffes procedure at four months of age [2], She had only moderate limitation of her activity and mild cyanosis, and a Mustard procedure was performed electively at 16 years of age . No attempt was made to close the ventricular septal defect .…”

A 22-year-old woman with chronic atrial tachycardia following Mustard's operation for transposition of the great arteries presented with dizziness and ventricular tachycardia documented with dynamic 24-h electrocardiogram. During intracardiac electrophysiology study, programmed ventricular extrastimulation induced polymorphous ventricular tachycardia (torsades de pointes). This was prevented by intravenous administration of procainamide. We postulate that polymorphous ventricular tachycardia is a possible cause of death in patients with Mustard's operation. Postoperative electrophysiologic study may define those patients at risk to develop this potentially fatal arrhythmia.

“…Such failures, however, emphasized the need for a good palliative procedure, and with an untreated neonatal mortality rate of more than 90 per cent there has been no lack ofinterest (Lillehei and Varco, 1953;Murphy et al, 1955;Baffes, 1956;Baffes et al, 1957;Glenn, 1958;Moss, Maloney, and Adams, 1961;Ochsner et al, 1961;Schuster et al, 1963;Trusler, Mustard, and Fowler, 1964;Edwards and Bargeron, 1965;Lindesmith et al, 1965). As Baffes said when introducing his technique at the 37th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery in 1957, "evolution of the surgical correction of transposition has been difficult and tedious.…”

The embryology, pathology, clinical picture, and surgical treatment of transposition of the great vessels have been extensively reviewed. Less attention, however, has been given to the anatomy of the chambers of the heart in this condition. One name has been used to describe more than one anatomical type of transposition, or several names (mostly non-descriptive) have been used to describe one anatomical type. Corrected transposition (Rokitansky, 1875;Anderson, Lillehei, and Lester, 1957; and others), reversed torsion of the human heart (Lewis and Abbott, 1915), mirror image transposition of the ventricles, aorta, and pulmonary artery (Beattie, 1922), transposition of the ventricles and the arterial stems (Walmsley, 1931), mixed lhvocardia with transposed ventricles with complete pseudotransposition (Lev, 1954), and inverted transposition (Spitzer, 1923): these are all different terms used to describe one type of corrected transposition of the great vessels. Dextrorotation and 'some type of lkvocardia', were two terms used by de La Cruz, Polansky, and NavarroL6pez (1962) to describe one type of corrected transposition of the great vessels with isolated dextrocardia and isolated levocardia respectively. Whereas the term dextroversion has been used by Grant (1958) to describe one variety of isolated dextrocardia, it has been used by Lichtman (1931) to indicate displacement of the heart to the right by acquired or congenital causes, by Paltauf (1901) and Monckeberg (1924) to signify an extrinsic congenital dextrocardia, and by Harris and Faber (1939) to describe their Case 16 of corrected transposition with l&vocardia. Mixed kavocardia and mixed dextrocardia (Lev, 1954) are two terms that have been used when each atrium is not connected to its corresponding ventricle, in lievocardia and in dextrocardia respectively. The object of this paper is to discuss the basic anatomical types of transposition of the great vessels and to advocate the use of their actual anatomical names. Inversion means a reversal in the frontal plane of the lateral relations between structures, and transposition means a reversal of relations in the antero-posterior plane. The chambers of the heart are best named according to the morphology, and morphology is best recognized by the architecture of the septum (Lev and Rowlatt, 1961). Thus the right atrium presents a limbus and a fossa ovalis on its septal surface; and the left atrium has on its septal surface the irregular configuration of the septum primum as it is adherent to the septum secundum. The right ventricle presents the septal and parietal bands forming the crista supraventricularis, and a trabeculated septum in the inlet. The left ventricle presents a relatively non-trabeculated septal surface in its basilar portion, and a mildly trabeculated apical portion, with the fibres streaming parallel to the outflow of blood.In 1923 Spitzer recognized four grades of transposition of the great vessels. In his type 1, the pulmonary trunk arises from the right ventricle, and the aorta overri...
