Key result
Anatomical correction of transposition of the great arteries and Taussig-Bing anomaly resulted in no late deaths, though mean ejection fraction was lower in complex versus simple transposition (62% vs 77%).

Supports good intermediate survival after anatomical correction of transposition; leaves open the significance of reduced ejection fraction in complex cases.

What are the intermediate functional results after anatomical correction of transposition of the great arteries and Taussig-Bing anomaly?
Absolute Event Rate: 62% vs 77%
Anatomical correction of transposition of the great arteries and Taussig-Bing anomaly yields satisfactory intermediate anatomical and functional results, though some patients exhibit left ventricular wall motion abnormalities of unknown implication.
Lincoln et al. (1986) conducted a cohort in Transposition of the great arteries or double outlet right ventricle and subpulmonary ventricular septal defect (Taussig-Bing anomaly) (n=33). Anatomical correction vs. Simple vs complex transposition (for subgroup analysis) was evaluated on Left ventricular ejection fraction. Anatomical correction of transposition of the great arteries and Taussig-Bing anomaly resulted in no late deaths, though mean ejection fraction was lower in complex versus simple transposition (62% vs 77%).
