TY - JOUR AU - Chaix, Marie-A AU - Khairy, Paul PY - 2019 TI - Dextro-transposition of the great arteries: switching the switch JF - Translational Pediatrics; Vol 8, No 5 (December 20, 2019): Translational Pediatrics Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA), whether isolated (simple) or associated with other congenital cardiac lesions (complex), is prevalent in 0.2 per 1,000 live births and accounts for 5% to 7% of congenital heart defects (1,2). Management of D-TGA epitomizes the remarkable strides achieved in medical and surgical therapy over time in the broader field of congenital heart disease. From the original palliative Blalock-Hanlon septectomy to the modern-day arterial switch operation (ASO), the step-wise progress reflects an international success story marked by 65 years of ingenuity, innovation, and collaboration (3).
