High perioperative mortality warrants caution; supports excellent midterm outcomes in survivors but leaves open refinements to reduce RVOT stenosis.
What are the midterm outcomes of anatomic correction of transposition of the great arteries associated with ventricular septal defect in pediatric patients?
Anatomic correction of TGA with VSD provides excellent midterm clinical condition and left ventricular function in survivors, despite a high initial operative mortality and risk of right ventricular outflow tract stenosis.
Bical et al. (1984) studied this question.
