Comparison of Long-Term Outcomes of Atrial Repair of Simple Transposition With Implications for a Late Arterial Switch Strategy

Abstract

Late outcomes after the Senning procedure are superior to those after the Mustard procedure. Both groups had late sudden deaths that were not associated with clinical systemic ventricular failure. Good functional status after the Senning procedure suggests that a strategy of elective switch conversion cannot be justified for patients with isolated transposition.
