Overview
Prognosis
The prognosis on simple d-TGA depends mainly on the presence of cardiac shunts such as FO, ASD, VSD, and DA. If one or more of these defects are present, blood will be mixed, allowing a small amount of oxygen to be delivered to the body, giving an opportunity to the newborn to survive long enough to receive corrective surgery. With complex d-TGA, the infant will fail to thrive and is unlikely to survive longer than a year if corrective surgery is not performed. Generally, if the defect (d-TGA) is not corrected during the first year of life, the patient's condition will deteriorate to the point of inoperability. Modern repair procedures within the ideal timeframe and without additional complications have a very high success rate.
