Implication

Review reveals improved outcomes for d-TGA with arterial switch operation, highlighting need for coronary insufficiency screening.

Key Points

  • Surgical treatment for d-TGA yields excellent outcomes, significantly reducing postoperative mortality.
  • Patients who undergo the arterial switch operation may develop coronary insufficiency later in life, requiring close monitoring.
  • Assessments of neurodevelopmental outcomes are essential for understanding the long-term impact on d-TGA patients.
  • Routine cardiology follow-up is crucial to identify and manage postsurgical complications effectively.
