Left and right ventricular performance after arterial switch operation

Left and right ventricular performance after arterial switch operation [1]

This study compared early and intermediate biventricular function after early arterial switch in 26 infants and 20 age-matched controls. At 1 year LV performance was similar in ASO and controls, whereas RV systolic and diastolic function remained impaired. This stresses the need for ongoing monitoring of RV function after ASO.
