Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) is the most frequent cyanotic congenital heart pathology in neonates. Surgical correction of this condition is possible using the arterial switch operation (ASO) which was first performed by Jatene in 1975. ⋯ Pooled data from many sources suggests that the ASO for D-TGA leads to high rates of survival in the short, medium, and long term.
