Abstract

Arterial switch operation (ASO) is the preferred procedure for the treatment of transposition of great arteries (TGA) and Taussig-Bing anomaly (TBA). A large number of patients who received surgery during childhood have reached adulthood, thus the late complications have attracted more attentions. Neo-aortic valve regurgitation and neo-aortic root dilation are second common causes for reoperation lately after ASO. This article intends to review the existing research, hoping to summarize the etiologies and prognosis of NAVR and NARD and to provide references for clinical practice.
