Abstract Introduction and objectives Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) is a congenital heart disease (CHD) palliated with atrial switch (ATR-S) and, more recently, with arterial switch (ART-S). As late complications from ATR-S are expected, novel challenges from ART-S surgery arises. Our aim was to evaluate these patients’ (pts) arrhythmic disturbances after a long-term follow-up. Methods We retrospectively analyzed D-TGA pts born between 1974 and 2001 and followed in Adult CHD Outpatient Clinic a…
