Reoperations and catheter interventions in patients with transposition of the great arteries after the arterial switch operation [CONGENITAL]

CONCLUSION: The frequency of reoperations and percutaneous interventions in patients with TGA after the ASO remains low. The majority of the procedures are performed because of pulmonary stenosis and recoarctation of aorta. Cardiac anomalies associated with TGA have a significant impact on the incidence of reoperation and reintervention.
