Outcomes for congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries using various surgical techniques: a systematic review and network meta-analysis

Key Points

• The research investigates outcomes of various surgical techniques for treating congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries, focusing on survival rates.
• Conducted a systematic review of existing literature on surgical techniques for this condition.
• Performed a network meta-analysis to compare outcomes across different surgical interventions.
• Assessed transplant-free survival, overall survival, and reintervention rates.
• Fontan repair showed significantly better transplant-free survival compared to anatomical and physiological repairs.
• It also ranked higher for overall survival and lower reintervention rates after definitive surgery.
