Late Period Rastelli Take-Down and Arterial Switch Operation After Rastelli Operation: An Adult Case.

We report a case of a 35-year-old man for whom an arterial switch operation was performed to treat conduit stenosis and improve ventricular arterial alignment 28 years after he underwent a Rastelli operation to treat transposition of the great arteries with a ventricular septal defect. In the eight years that followed the operation, he was asymptomatic and was treated with warfarin.
