Aortic root translocation and en bloc rotation of the outflow tracts surgery for complex forms of transposition of the great arteries and double outlet right ventricle: A multicenter study.

Objective: There are several choices for the correction of complex transposition of the great arteries and double outlet right ventricle not amenable to the Rastelli-type surgery, but outcome data are limited to small series. This study aims to report results after the aortic root translocation and en bloc rotation of the outflow tract procedures.

Methods: This is a retrospective, multicentric, observational study.
