Short-term survival with normal LV function after neonatal arterial switch in TGA; leaves open durability and generalizability.
Does anatomic surgical correction provide favorable survival and clinical outcomes in neonates with simple transposition of the great arteries?
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.
