Key result
Atrial correction for transposition of the great arteries was associated with 82% survival at 39.7 years postoperatively, alongside high morbidity including supraventricular tachycardia in 51%.
Population
76 adult patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) who underwent atrial correction, 59% male.
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
39.7 (IQR: 35.9-42.4) years postoperatively

Long-term survival after atrial TGA correction is tempered by high arrhythmia morbidity; extends prior cohorts yet leaves optimal management strategies open.
Cohort (n=76)
While long-term survival nearly 40 years after atrial correction for TGA is high (82%), patients experience significant late morbidity including arrhythmias, heart failure, and depressed right ventricular function.
Couperus et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) (n=76). Atrial correction (Mustard or Senning) was evaluated on Adult survival. Atrial correction for transposition of the great arteries was associated with 82% survival at 39.7 years postoperatively, alongside high morbidity including supraventricular tachycardia in 51%.
