Supports reassuring exercise capacity after neonatal ASO; leaves open durability into adulthood and need for larger prospective studies.
Does exercise testing demonstrate normal long-term exercise capacity in children after neonatal arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries?
Children who underwent neonatal arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries demonstrate excellent long-term exercise capacity at a mean age of 10 years.
Hövels‐Gürich et al. (2003) studied this question.
