Overview
ACC/AHA recommends different surgical options for patients with congenitally corrected/Levo-transposition of the great arteries. In some cases, the technically challenging "double switch operation" has been successfully performed to restore the normal blood flow through the appropriate morphologic ventricles.

| Class I |
| "1. Surgeons with training and expertise in CHD should perform operations for patients with CCTGA for the following indications: |
| a. Unrepaired CCTGA and severe AV valve regurgitation. (Level of Evidence: B) |
| b. Anatomic repair with atrial and arterial level switch/Rastelli repair in cases in which the left ventricle is functioning at systemic pressures. (Level of Evidence: B) |
| c. Simple VSD closure when the VSD is not favorable for left ventricle–to–aorta baffling or is restrictive. (Level of Evidence: B) |
| d. LV–to–pulmonary artery conduit in rare cases with LV dysfunction and severe LV outflow obstruction. (Level of Evidence: B) |
| e. Evidence of moderate or progressive systemic AV valve regurgitation. (Level of Evidence: B) |
| f. Conduit obstruction with systemic or nearly systemic RV pressures and/or RV dysfunction after anatomic repair. (Level of Evidence: B) |
| g. Conduit obstruction and systemic or suprasystemic LV pressures in a patient with nonanatomic correction. (Level of Evidence: B) |
| h. Moderate or severe AR/neo-AR and onset of ventricular dysfunction or progressive ventricular dilatation. (Level of Evidence: B)" |
