The aim was to describe the CoD for patients with the Mustard and Senning procedure during short- (<10 years), mid- (10-20 years), and long-term (>20 years) follow-up after the operation. Methods and Results This is a retrospective, descriptive multicenter cohort study including all Nordic patients (Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden) who underwent a Mustard or Senning procedure between 1967 and 2003. Patients who died within 30 days after the index operation were excluded. Among 968 patients with Mustard/Senning palliated transposition of the great arteries, 814 patients were eligible for the study, with a mean follow-up of 33.6 yeJournal of the American Heart Associatione023921https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9707826biostudies-literatureCause-Specific Mortality in Patients During Long-Term Follow-Up After Atrial Switch for Transposition of the Great Arteries.PMC9707826Jensen ASNagy EThilen UKvidal PGjesdal OJokinen ESairanen HSondergaard LVejlstrup NJohansson BJorgensen THFurenas EGreve GSkulstad HHlebowicz JSinisalo JChristersson CDellborg MEriksson PfalseCause-Specific Mortality in Patients During Long-Term Follow-Up After Atrial Switch for Transposition of the Great Arteries.Background Little is known about the cause of death (CoD) in patients with transposition of the great arteries palliated with a Mustard or Senning procedure.
