Surgical "correction" of transposition of the great arteries: a review of 100 consecutive cases
Med J Aust.
.
Abstract
A review has been made of 100 patients having repair of transposition of the great arteries during a six-year period. The overall hospital mortality was 12%. In uncomplicated cases with an intact ventricular septum it was 7%. Late complications have presented a significant problem and include caval inflow stenosis, pulmonary venous obstruction, dysrhythmias and tricuspid incompetence. The changes in operative techniques to overcome them are discussed.
