Midterm Results of Anatomic Correction of Transposition of the Great Arteries with End-to-End Anastomosis for Pulmonary Artery Reconstruction: A Study of 25 Patients
Conference paper
Abstract
Anatomic correction of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is being performed more frequently with encouraging results. However, it has potential problems concerning the fate of the reconstructed great arteries and of the transferred coronary arteries. The goal of this study is to determine the midterm results of a homogeneous series of 25 survivors who were operated on by the same surgeon using the same previously described technique [1].
