We investigated the size and growth potential of the neoaortic root and aortic anastomosis after the arterial switch operation (ASO) for D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) performed in infants. Circumferential suture lines connecting the great arteries and extensive surgery on the arterial roots to transplant the coronary arteries are essential parts of the ASO. However, little is known about the growth of the aortic anastomosis, the neoaortic root, and the neoaortic annulus after the ASO performed in infancy.
