Historical Evolution of Surgery for Transposition of Great Arteries (TGA)
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Cardiology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The history of surgery for transposition of great arteries (TGA) has paralleled the history of cardiac surgery. In fact, it began before the birth of open heart surgery when the palliative Blalock-Hanlon septectomy was first performed in 1948. The atrial switch, which was an attempt to correct the physiology of transposition, had significant shortcomings. The arterial switch sought to address them. This has emerged as an anatomically as well as physiologically appropriate solution. This review traces the various milestones in this perpetual journey.
