Complete Transposition of the Great Arteries: 5-Year Experience From a Single Center

Complete transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is the most common cause of cyanosis in the first week of life. Prenatal diagnosis helps with counseling, planning delivery, and postnatal management for resource-rich health services. In a resource-limited setting, postnatal diagnosis is the norm. This work examines cases of complete TGA in one center in Cambodia without prenatal testing. Twenty-four cases were studied over 5 years. Complex TGA was frequently seen. The majority had normal coronary anatomy and arterial switch operation (ASO) was performed in most cases with a favorable outcome.
