Although advances in diagnosis and treatment continue to improve outcomes for ccTGA, patients are burdened with significant morbidity and mortality. Optimal approaches to surgical management of the anomaly, as well as prevention and management of heart failure, are still not established. Future research should focus on the long-term effect of anatomic repair, potential benefits of novel pharmacological strategies for heart failure therapy, and the optimal mode of pacing in ccTGA patients. However, the issues might be difficult to address due to rarity of the disease and its heterogenous clinical presentation. As the life-expectancy of ccTGA patients improves, acquired cardiovascular disorders will become another serious concern.
