Abstract

Dextro- or D-looped transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) has a reported birth incidence of 0.3/1000 patients. It is the most common cause of cyanosis in newborns [1, 2]. Whereas overall survival of patients with the Mustard or Senning atrial switch procedure is 75% at 25 years, the arterial switch procedure is now the standard of care in infancy. Long term complications of both types of surgical correction are outlined in detail.
