Objectives This study was to assess the mid-term results of the one-and-a-half ventricular repair (hemi-Mustard and bidirectional Glenn procedures combined with the Rastelli procedure) and Fontan pathway for correcting congenitally corrected transposition of great artery (ccTGA) patients with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) and cardiac malposition. Methods In this retrospective study, 74 consecutive ccTGA with LVOTO and cardiac malposition underwent the one-and-a-half ventricular repair (group A; 33 cases) and Fontan operation (group B; 41 cases) between October 2011 and March 2018. The Median follow-up time was 49 (20–84) and 42 (7–85) months in groups A and B, respectively. To estimate excise tolerance the 6-min walk test (MWT) was performed. Results No in-hospital death. Compared with group A, group B have significantly less CPB, mechanical ventilation time, and intensive care unit stay, but prolonged pleural effusions developed more frequently in Group B. The survival probability was 90.2% (95% CI, 80.2–100%) and 97.2% (95% CI, 92–100%) at 7 years (p = 0.300) in group A and B. The probability of freedom from re-intervention were 80.6% (95% CI, 66.5–97.6%) and 97.2% (95% CI, 92–100%) at 7 years (p = 0.110). Longitudinal repeated measured echo data at every follow-up time shows that group A has more systemic ventricular EF% (p < 0.001) and less moderate systemic ventricular valve regurgitation (p < 0.001) compared with group B. Estimated by 6 MWT, group A has better outcomes for 6-min walk distance. Conclusions For correction of ccTGA with LVOTO and cardiac malposition, the one-and-a-half ventricular repair had superior midterm heart function and excise tolerance.
