Abstract Sudden cardiac death and heart failure are well known long-term complications after atrial switch for D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA).
Right systemic ventricular dysfunction is common and myocardial ischemia has
been implicated as a putative mechanism for sudden death, with coronary anomalies prevalent in 30% of cases. We sought to assess an association between
adverse events and coronary anomalies in patients with D-TGA and atrial switch
surgery. An observational study was conducted in 3 tertiary centers (Montreal
Heart Institute, Canada, Nationwide Children’s hospital, Chicago, USA and Hopital cardiologique Louis Pradel de Lyon, France). Adults with D-TGA and atrial
switch… More >
