Outcomes of the arterial switch operation: A multi-centre study [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Dr Tyson Fricke (Principal investigator)

Brief description The arterial switch operation is the surgery of choice for children born with transposition of the great arteries, a congenital heart defect where the main two vessels of the heart arise from wrong pumping chambers of the heart. There are very few studies looking at adults after this operation. We aim to study all patients who have had an arterial switch. The results of this study will further increase our knowledge of the long term consequences of having the arterial switch operation.
