Introduction and objectives

Transposition of the great arteries is a prevalent congenital heart defect with a high survival rate and a good long-term outcome, especially if managed with early surgical intervention during the neonatal period. In this study, our main objective was to describe patient characteristics and outcomes and to identify possible predictors of early and long-term morbidity and mortality.

Methods

Retrospective analysis through review of clinical and surgical charts of patients with transposition of the great arteries admitted to the service of neonatology during 2000-2011.

Results

The study included 136 patients; 119 of them had undergone corrective surgery during the neonatal period. Patients were divided into 3 groups: group I, 81 cases of isolated transposition; group II, 24 cases with ventricular septal defect, and group III, 31 with 鈥渃omplex鈥?transposition of the great arteries. The overall postoperative survival was 96.7% (115 of 119 patients); no patients from group I died after surgery. Duration of surgery, intubation, inotropic treatment, and length of stay were higher in patients in groups II and III. The overall survival rate after an average of 6 years of follow-up was 90.4% (123 of 136 patients), with no deaths after discharge in group I. The most frequent residual defect during cardiac follow-up was supravalvular pulmonary stenosis, in 33 of 113 patients that had follow-up data.

Conclusions

In our study, the survival rate was high in patients with transposition of great arteries and especially in those undergoing arterial switch. The number of subsequent residual heart defects was low.
