Transposition of the great arteries: A comparison of results of the Mustard procedure versus the arterial switch

摘要: Abstract Sixty infants with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum underwent primary surgical correction in first 3 months life. Twenty-three patients had a Mustard procedure (group 1) 37 patients, an arterial switch operation 2). The mean age at time repair was 42 ± 31 days for group 1 8 6 2 ( p = not significant). Operative mortality 8.7% / 23 ) 8.1% incidence arrhythmias early postoperative period 39% 9 11% 4 18 21 operative survivors 50% 17 34 survivors. Ejection fraction systemic ventricle 79% 15% predicted normal 98% 6% 12 3% data suggest that has late comparable those but is superior terms significantly fewer preservation function, thus making it choice arteries.
