Surgery for Transposition of the Great Arteries: Recent Experience in the West of Scotland

From January 1980 to May 1983, 38 children underwent corrective surgery for transposition of the great arteries using the Mustard operation at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Glasgow. Twenty-nine children (Group 1) had ‘simple’ transposition, four (Group 2) had transposition and ventricular septal defect and five (Group 3) presented with complex anomalies. Operative mortality was zero for Groups 1 and 2. In Group 3, two children died within 30 days of operation. In the follow-up period of between three months and three and a half years there have been three late deaths. This report outlines the presentation, management and short term follow-up of children who have undergone the Mustard operation in this hospital since 1980.
