  • The arterial switch operation, first performed in 1975, remains the primary treatment for d-TGA with effective results.
  • Routine follow-up is essential post-surgery to monitor for potential coronary insufficiency complications.
  • Understanding neurodevelopmental outcomes in d-TGA patients is increasingly important as they reach adulthood.
