Pregnancy is well tolerated in women with transposition of the great arteries after an arterial switch operation, without adverse maternal cardiac events or early progression of neoaortic root dilatation.
Stoll et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Transposition of the great arteries after an arterial switch operation (n=15).
