Extract

With the general acceptance that the arterial switch operation represents the surgical treatment of choice for complex complete transposition, an increasing number of centers are leaning towards favoring this approach for simple transposition as well. As the arterial switch procedure is a more difficult surgical procedure than the Mustard or Senning operation, the learning curve has been longer and more hazardous. Centers with large referral bases have, understandably, enjoyed a more concentrated exposure to the arterial switch operation, and are now achieving early rates of mortality as low as those quoted for atrial repairs.
