Why the study?
Does late primary arterial switch operation (31-66 days old) maintain comparable outcomes to early operation (<21 days old) in patients with TGA-IVS?
Does late primary arterial switch operation (31-66 days old) maintain comparable outcomes to early operation (<21 days old) in patients with TGA-IVS?
The age limit for primary arterial switch operation in TGA-IVS can be extended to at least 10 weeks, though temporary mechanical circulatory support may be required as a rescue.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Supports extending arterial switch feasibility to 10 weeks in TGA-IVS; leaves open need for prospective validation before practice change.
