Abstract
Posterior coronary looping remains a risk factor when performing an arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries. In such a situation, to avoid the risk of overstretching, we use an 'inverse' flap technique, resulting in a tension-free relocation.Keywords: Arterial switch operation; Congenital; Great vessels; Transposition of great arteries
