Early and late survival rates after ASO in TGA patients have been remarkably improved in recent decades. Increased rates of NAR, ARD, recurrent coarctation of the aorta, and RVOTO as children age are major future outcomes of concern and may imply more late reinterventions. Careful follow-up of neo-aortic valve and root function is imperative, especially in patients with APDMM, previous PAB, mild NAR at discharge, low surgical weight, and BPV structures.
