Left ventricular regression after balloon atrial septostomy in d-transposition of the great arteries [CONGENITAL]

BAS is associated with accelerated regression of the LV in infants with simple d-transposition of the great arteries in the first 2 weeks after the procedure. Regression of the LV is faster in children who underwent BAS after 3 weeks of age.
