According to our study the ASO remains the procedure of choice for the treatment of various forms of the TGA with acceptable early and later outcome in terms of overall survival and free reoperation. The reconstruction of the pulmonary root employing a single pantaloon patch seems to offer less residual pulmonary artery stenosis.
