Pulmonary, aorta, and coronary arteries post-arterial switch in transposition of great arteries: intermediate-term surveillance utilizing conventional echocardiography and cardiac multislice computed tomography.

Echocardiography alone is not a conclusive surveillance tool for detecting late post-ASO anatomic changes in D-TGA patients. Cardiac MSCT should be considered for comprehensive evaluation on the intermediate-term follow-up post-ASO to accurately track morphologic abnormalities in the aorta, pulmonary, and coronary arteries.
