摘要
Right (systemic) ventricular (RV) failure in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after the Senning operation is a well-known late complication. Although double switch operations have been advocated by some groups,(1) orthotopic heart transplantation (HTx) remains the only definitive option to treat these patients.(2) However, there is a high mortality rate for patients on transplant waiting lists, and the use of ventricular assist devices (VADs) is often required as a bridge to HTx.(3)
