L-transposition of the great arteries (L-TGA) represents a spectrum of congenital heart defects (CHD) associated with atrioventricular block (AVB). However, the incidence and prognosis of postoperative AVB among patients with variants of L-TGA is uncertain. Assess the incidence and risk factors for postoperative AVB requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation for pediatric patients with L-TGA undergoing cardiac surgery.

Background: Short-term improvements in quality of life (QOL) have been reported in adult congenital heart disease patients with systemic right ventricle (sRV) failure after treatment with sacubitril/valsartan. This study aimed to evaluate the medium-term QOL changes in sRV failure patients treated with sacubitril/valsartan.
Methods: In this single-centre, prospective cohort study, patients with symptomatic sRV failure completed the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research/Academic Hospital Leiden Questionnaire for Adult's Health-Related Quality of Life (TAAQOL) at baseline and after starting treatment with sacubitril/valsartan.

Background: Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare congenital heart disease with varying regional reports in management approach. The meta-analysis is aimed to document various regional differences in the pattern, presentation, and outcomes in the management of congenitally corrected transposition of the great artery(ccTGA).
Methodology: Search engines for published articles on ccTGA were used in the meta-analysis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the short- and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent the arterial switch operation (ASO) at Siriraj Hospital in Thailand, and to identify postoperative complications and factors that significantly affect patient survival.
Materials And Methods: We retrospectively studied all patients with dextro-transposition of the great arteries and anatomic variants who underwent the ASO from January 1995 to December 2020. Twenty-year overall survival and 15-year freedom from reoperation/reintervention were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Transposition of great arteries (TGA) is a critical congenital heart disease leading to a fatal outcome if timely management is not provided. Management in low-income countries is challenging. A retrospective analysis was carried out at Sudan Heart Center for infants with TGA who underwent balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) from January 2010 to December 2020.
