Outcomes of the arterial switch for transposition during infancy using a standardized approach over 30 years.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to describe the early and late outcomes of the arterial switch for transposition.

Methods

A single-centre retrospective cohort study was conducted to assess the early and late outcomes of arterial switch performed during infancy using a standardized institutional approach between 1988 and 2018, compared by morphological groups.

Results

A total of 749 consecutive patients undergoing arterial switch during infancy were included, 464 (61.9%) with intact septum, 163 (21.8%) with isolated ventricular septal defect and 122 (16.3%) with complex transposition with associated lesions, including 67 (8.9%) with Taussig-Bing anomaly. There were 34 early deaths [4.5%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 3.1-6.1] with only 10 (2.6%) early deaths since
