Biventricular repair versus Fontan completion for patients with d- or l-transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction

Abstract

Objectives: D-transposition of the great arteries and l-transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction are complex biventricular congenital heart diseases for which decision-making regarding surgical strategy remains challenging. We investigated the intermediate-term outcomes of Fontan versus biventricular procedures in these patients. Methods: We analyzed 129 patients with d-transposition of the great arteries/ventricular septal defect/left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (n = 85) or l-transposition of the great arteries/ventricular septal defect/left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (n = 44) and 2 functional vent..
