Overview

Short-term survival with normal LV function after neonatal arterial switch in TGA; leaves open durability and generalizability.

Structured PICO

Does anatomic surgical correction provide favorable survival and clinical outcomes in neonates with simple transposition of the great arteries?

P
Population
50 newborn infants (2- to 23-day-old, mean age 8 +/- 5 days) with simple transposition of the great arteries.
I
Intervention
Anatomic surgical correction on cardiopulmonary bypass without cardiac arrest, including pulmonary artery reconstruction by end-to-end anastomosis (Lecompte's maneuver) and coronary artery transfer.
O
Outcome
Early and late mortality, and clinical status at follow-up.hard clinical

Anatomic correction (arterial switch operation) can be successfully performed in the first few days of life in neonates with simple transposition of the great arteries, yielding excellent short-term clinical outcomes.
