Abstract: The complete transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is one of the commonest congenital cardiac anomalies in cyanosis. In untreated patients, death occurs early in infancy. Nowadays arterial switch operation (ASO) has been widely proposed to treat TGA without pulmonary valve stenosis. Meanwhile, surgical risks and mortality will be increased if TGA is accompanied by coronary arterial anomalies. So proper surgical management of abnormal coronary artery has a significant influence on the outcome of ASO. The classification, operation methods and surgical results were reviewed in this article.
