Abstract:BackgroundUnilateral pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis is common in the transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after arterial switch operation (ASO) but the effects on the right ventricle (RV) remain unclear.AimsTo assess the effects of unilateral PA stenosis on RV afterload and function in pediatric patients with TGA‐ASO.MethodsIn this retrospective study, eight TGA patients with unilateral PA stenosis underwent heart catheterization and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. RV pressures, RV afterload (ar… Show more
