Is timing as critical for repair of dextro-transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect without outflow tract obstruction?
This analysis of more than 1000 neonates born with dextro-transposition of the great arteries + ventricular septal defect without outflow tract obstruction revealed that most patients undergo the arterial switch operation + ventricular septal defect closure within the first week of life and had acceptable major outcomes regardless of timing. Earlier arterial switch operation + ventricular septal defect closure may confer an advantage with regard to secondary outcomes and hospitalization costs.
