This article presents technical aspects of the arterial switch procedure. The arterial switch procedure is a technically reproducible operation that involves less three-dimensional judgment and fewer difficult sequencing decisions than many other complex cardiac procedures. Hemostasis is the most important principal that must be adhered to mainly through meticulous surgical technique. Meticulous technique will also lead to successful transfer of the coronary arteries. Teaching a surgical trainee how to manage a child who requires an arterial switch procedure requires instruction in the technical aspects of the procedure. However, this is just one component of the overall management of babies requiring this procedure. Attention and training should be directed at all areas of competence that have been emphasized by bodies such as the American College of Surgeons. Simulation is playing an increasingly important role in the instruction of surgical trainees within the domain of congenital heart disease.
