Summary This paper reviews the initial experience of radical correction of truncus arteriosus in the Soviet Union. The anatomy, hemodynamics, diagnosis and surgical technique are described in detail. Five patients were operated on: three survived. The two deaths in this series were due to mistakes in evaluating the indications for the operation.
