Overview

High early mortality after intraatrial baffle for D-TGA warrants caution; leaves open need for contemporary comparisons with arterial switch.

Structured PICO

P
Population
123 pediatric patients ranging in age from 20 days to 15 years with D-transposition of the great arteries, who previously had a total of 121 various palliative procedures.
