Özet
Arterial switch operation is the primary treatment of choice for simple transposition of the great arteries. However, a common problem in developing countries is late admission of the patients for a successful arterial switch procedure. In this article, we report a case from a neighboring country admitted to our hospital at four months-of-age and was about to lose his candidacy for an arterial switch operation at the time of admittance, who underwent ductal stent implantation for a better left ventricular performance prior to surgical correction. Ductal stent implantation for left ventricular conditioning may be an option for the cases who present late and are considered to be risky candidates for arterial switch operation at the time of their presentation.
