Transposition of the Great Arteries-Are We Doing Better? Correlating Outcome to Change in Renal Function Over 2 Decades of Arterial Switch Operation.

Objectives: It is believed that management of neonates with dextro-transposition of the great arteries is constantly improving. Renal function may play a role in the prognosis of patients after congenital heart surgery. The aim of this study was to describe the outcome of neonates who underwent arterial switch operation during the past 2 decades using renal function as a surrogate marker for morbidity and mortality.
