Newborns with congenital heart disease often require interventions linked to high morbidity
and mortality rates. In the last few decades, many transcatheter interventions have become …

For neonates with critical congenital heart disease requiring intervention, transcatheter
approaches for many conditions have been established over the past decades. These …

Objective Restrictive foramen ovale (FO) in dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA)
with intact ventricular septum may lead to severe life-threatening hypoxia within the first …

Background Reports of long-term mortality and reintervention after transposition of the great
arteries with intact ventricular septum treatment, although favorable, are mostly limited to …

Background Dextro-transposition of the great arteries is a congenital heart defect with
eventually lethal life-threatening consequences of hypoxic low cardiac output. When a …

Background Balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) is an emergent and essential cardiac
intervention to enhance intercirculatory mixing at atrial level in deoxygenated patients …

(1) Background: Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is the most common congenital
heart disease, accounting for 5–7% of all cardiac anomalies, with a prevalence of 0.2–0.3 …

The standard of care in the management of d-transposition of the great arteries (TGA)
includes the arterial switch operation (ASO). 1, 2 Although some institutions have begun to …

BACKGROUND Hypoxia caused by inadequate intracardiac mixing owing to a restrictive
foramen ovale is a potentially life-threatening complication in neonates with dextro …

Untreated D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) is a highly lethal condition without
early catheterization and surgical interventions. The adoption of the early arterial switch …
