Key result
A standardized technique of coronary transfer during arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries resulted in an overall coronary risk of 2.3%.

Supports standardized coronary transfer in TGA; hypothesis-generating from Level 5 data and should not yet change practice.
Observational (n=43)
Does a new standardized technique of coronary transfer during arterial switch operation entail low coronary risk in patients with transposition of the great arteries?
A new standardized technique for coronary transfer during the arterial switch operation for TGA is feasible across various coronary patterns and is associated with a low coronary risk.
Vouhé et al. (1994) conducted an observational in Transposition of the great arteries (n=43). Standardized technique of coronary transfer (reimplantation of two coronary ostia side by side) was evaluated on Overall coronary risk (coronary-related mortality or morbidity). A standardized technique of coronary transfer during arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries resulted in an overall coronary risk of 2.3%.
