Primary Arterial Switch Operation for Late Presentation Of Transposition Of The Great Arteries With Intact Ventricular Septum

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with intact ventricular septum (IVS) are subject to neonatal arterial switch operation (ASO) to avoid deconditioning of the left ventricle (LV). Often an early repair is not feasible in developing countries where late referral is frequent. We aim to explore ASO outcomes in late TGA-IVS and compare 'unfavorable candidates' (LV myocardial mass
