Early Experience with Reverse Double Switch Operation for the Borderline Left Heart
This study reviews our early experience with the “reverse” double switch operation (R-DSO) for borderline left hearts. A retrospective review of children with borderline left hearts who underwent R-DSO between 2017 and 2021 was conducted. Patient characteristics and early hemodynamic and clinical outcomes were collected. R-DSO was performed in 8 patients with no operative or postoperative deaths; 5 underwent decompressing bidirectional Glenn. Left ventricular (LV) poor-compliance was the dominant pathophysiology.
