Infundibular septal resection: surgical anatomy of the superior approach.
A technique for extensive resection of the infundibular septum through the superior transarterial approach is proposed. Infundibular septal resection facilitates intraventricular rerouting for anatomic correction of transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and double-outlet right ventricle. This technique also may be used to enlarge progressively obstructive but physiologically advantageous ventricular septal defects, for example, with tricuspid atresia. Through the superior transaortic or transpulmonary approach, the landmarks of the infundibular septum are the intercoronary commissure of the aortic valve and the septal commissure of the pulmonary valve, both of which are directly above the middle of the infundibular septum. With this exposure, the infundibular septum may then be resected easily and relatively completely and a large opening created immediately beneath the semilunar valves. The feasibility of infundibular septal resection by the superior approach was assessed post mortem in 25 cases of transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and in 20 autopsied cases of double-outlet right ventricle. This technique was subsequently applied successfully to enlarge the obstructive ventricular septal defect of a 2-year, 11-month-old girl with D-transposition of the great arteries. The advantages of the proposed technique include technical ease, relative completeness of infundibular septal resection, and the facilitation of intraventricular repair of transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and double-outlet right ventricle.
