Key result
Univentricular repair (Fontan-type) and biventricular repair showed similar early mortality rates (8% vs 9%) in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.

Similar early mortality supports individualized repair choice; leaves open long-term survival comparison in ccTGA.
Cohort (n=38)
Does univentricular repair compared to biventricular repair improve survival in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis?
Absolute Event Rate: 8% vs 9%
Both univentricular and biventricular repairs for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with VSD and pulmonary stenosis demonstrate comparable early mortality, though complication profiles differ.
Prasanna et al. (1996) conducted a cohort in Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis (n=38). Univentricular repair vs. Biventricular repair was evaluated on Early mortality. Univentricular repair (Fontan-type) and biventricular repair showed similar early mortality rates (8% vs 9%) in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
