Supports Senning over Mustard for simple TGA survival; extends observational data but should not yet change practice.
Does the Senning procedure improve long-term survival and reduce reintervention compared to the Mustard procedure in patients with simple transposition of the great arteries?
Long-term outcomes after the Senning procedure are superior to the Mustard procedure for simple transposition of the great arteries, with good functional status that does not justify elective arterial switch conversion.
