Transposition of the great arteries: Fetal pulmonary valve growth and postoperative neo‐aortic root dilatation

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is treated with the arterial switch operation (ASO). Neo‐aortic root (NAoR) dilatation is seen postoperatively and may require late reintervention. The first serial data on semilunar valve size in fetal TGA in a large cohort are provided. TGA semilunar valve...

Descripción
Sumario:Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is treated with the arterial switch operation (ASO). Neo‐aortic root (NAoR) dilatation is seen postoperatively and may require late reintervention. The first serial data on semilunar valve size in fetal TGA in a large cohort are provided. TGA semilunar valve diameters are larger than in normal fetal hearts, giving a larger left ventricular outflow tract. The prenatal pulmonary valve size may predispose to NAoR dilatation post‐ASO.
