Mid-term outcomes of primary arterial switch operation for Taussig-Bing anomaly

To identify risk factors associated with mortality and reintervention on primary arterial switch operation for Taussig-Bing anomaly in 225 cases over a 16-year period. From 2002 to 2017, 225 children with Taussig-Bing anomaly received a primary arterial switch operation at the Shanghai Children's Medical Center. Perioperative data and follow-up results were collected. Univariate and multivariable analysis was used to explore risk factors associated with early mortality. The competing risk analysis was used to identify risk factors related to reintervention. Early mortality was 12.9% (29/225) with a satisfactory long-term survival rate (10-year survival rate 85.0%). The median age at repair was 77 days (interquartile range, IQR, 48-139). The median duration of follow-up was 4.6 (range 0.1-18.3) years. 87 children (38.7%) received concomitant aortic arch repair.
