Based on experience in several centers, the double switch operation has reportedly become the standard surgical therapy for congenitally corrected transposition. We report and discuss here the use of a “ventricle and a half” double switch operation performed due to the concerns raised intraoperatively because of the size of the morphologically right ventricle. Although the long-term course of such a procedure in this setting remains unknown, we submit that the proposed benefits of the double switch operation, even when used in the “ventricle and a half” configuration, may be superior to the alternatives.
