Implication

May flag higher SCD risk in TGA patients with late atrial baffle repair or treated atrial arrhythmias; leaves open need for validated stratification.

Population

89 patients with a diagnosis of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and previous Mustard or Senning repair

Outcome

Sudden cardiac death (SCD)hard clinical

Older age at surgery, earlier era of surgical repair, and history of atrial arrhythmias appear to convey an increased risk of sudden cardiac death in patients with TGA post-atrial baffle surgery.
