Abstract
Encountering a bicuspid pulmonary valve at the time of an arterial switch operation is not uncommon. The integrity of a bicuspid pulmonary valve in the neoaortic position is maintained at a mean follow-up of 5.3 years. We believe that the presence of a bicuspid pulmonary valve is not a contraindication to an arterial switch operation.
