Complex transpositions, especially in premature newborns, were associated with higher early morbidity, mortality, and reoperation rates after surgery for transposition of the great arteries.
What are the short-term predictors of morbidity and mortality after surgery for transposition of the great arteries in newborns?
Complex transpositions and prematurity are key predictors of early morbidity and mortality following surgery for transposition of the great arteries.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Early morbidity, early mortality and reoperation rates were higher in complex transpositions, particularly among premature newborns. Heart failure and pulmonary stenosis were the most common early complications. Heart failure was the main factor associated with early mortality. Pulmonary stenosis was one of the most frequent causes of reoperations.
