Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO) is one of the reasons for late reinterventions after repair of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with aortic arch obstruction (AAO). The aim of the present study was to identify predictors of reoperation for RVOTO in patients who underwent arterial switch operation (ASO) and arch repair for TGA or Taussig-Bing anomaly with AAO.
