Supports targeted long-term surveillance in complex TGA; leaves open prospective validation of risk-stratified management.
What is the incidence of late systemic ventricular failure in survivors of atrial correction for transposition of great arteries?
Systemic ventricular failure is a rare but constant late complication after atrial correction for TGA, occurring more frequently in patients with complex TGA.
Siebenmann et al. (1989) studied this question.
