Abstract:
The surgical management of complex congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) remains a subject of ongoing debate due to wide anatomic variability and limited comparative outcomes data. Available strategies include the anatomic repair, physiologic repair, 1.5-ventricular repair, and biventricular repair, each selected based on anatomic severity and the presence of associated lesions. This commentary reviews the existing literature to inform decision-marking between univentricular, 1.5-ventricular, and biventricular repair strategies in complex ccTGA and underscores the need for further comparative studies to guide management.
