Objective To introduce a modified REV procedure of complicated transposition of the great arteries （TGA） or double outlet right ventricle （DORV） which was combined with ventrieular septal defect （VSD） and pulmonary valve stenosis（PS）. Methods From Sep. 2005 to Feb. 2006, 3 children with complicated transposition of the great arteries underwent a modified REV operation. This modified REV operation was designed on the basis of classical REV procedure to preserve the native pulmonary artery valve and its function. Results Two patients recovered uneventfully but one died after extraeorporeal membrane oxygenator （ECMO） treatment. After 4 and 1 months follow-up respectively, the discharged 2 patients were asymptomatie and the eehoeardiography revealed that the pressure gradient between left ventrieular-main pulmonary were estimated to be 15 and 5mmHg. Conclusion This modified REV operation for preservation of pulmonary artery valve is an ideal procedure to complicated transposition of the great arteries. Advantages and disadvantages of this modified REV procedure were discussed.
