Abstract
Long-term outcomes of ASO for patients with TGA and anatomic LVOTO are satisfactory in selected patients. A lower preoperative pulmonary valve z-score and complex multilevel atrioventricular valve-related LVOTO are independent predictors of recurrent LVOTO and LVOT reoperation. TGA/LVOTO patients with pulmonary valve z-score exceeding −1.8 and resectable valvular or subvalvular LVOTO, or both, should be candidates for ASO, regardless of the severity of the LVOT peak gradient.
