Morphology, surgical techniques, and outcomes in patients above 15 years undergoing surgery for congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries.
There is a paucity of data about morphology, surgical procedure, and results in older patients with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries (ccTGAs). ⋯ Older patients with ccTGA present a challenge. Fontan/BD Glenn remains a good option for patients who presented with VSD PS. Both anatomic and physiological BV repairs provide acceptable results. Tricuspid valve replacement is safe for patients presenting with TR who have improvement in functional class, though the right ventricular function may not improve.
