Arterial switch1

• 2. There are many anatomic considerations suggesting the morphologically left ventricle (LV) may well be a better systemic pump than the morphologically right ventricle (RV) which, if true, would favor the arterial switch procedure as opposed to an atrial switch operation: (1) The LV consists almost entirely of the sinus or pumping portion, and has only a minimal distal infundibular (conal) component.
