    Abstract Objective: To find risk factors for a complicated early postoperative course after arterial switch operation (ASO) in neonates with d-transposition of the great arteries (dTGA). In addition to anatomical and surgical parameters, the predictive value of early postoperative troponin T (TnT) values in correlation to the early postoperative course after ASO is analyzed.
    Methods: Seventy-nine neonates (57 (72%) male) with simple dTGA treated by ASO between 2009 and 2016 were included in the analysis. A complicated early postoperative course (30 days) was defined by one of the following criteria: (A) moderate to severe cardiac dysfunction without rhythm… More >
