Is the function of all cardiac valves after the arterial switch operation influenced by an associated XXXX ?

A @entity1757 in @entity3886 is frequently closely related to the cardiac valves. The valvar function after arterial switch operation of @entity1 with @entity3886 and @entity1757 or intact ventricular septum was compared. We analysed the function of all cardiac valves in @entity1 who underwent the arterial switch operations pre- and post-operatively, 1 year after the procedure and on follow-up. The study included 92 @entity1 - 64 with @entity3886 /intact ventricular septum and 28 with @entity3886 / @entity1757 . The median age at surgery was 5.5 days in @entity3886 /intact ventricular septum (0-73 days) and 7.0 days in @entity3886 / @entity1757 (4-41 days). Follow-up was 51.7 months in @entity3886 /intact ventricular septum (3.3-177.3 months) and 55 months in @entity3886 / @entity1757 (14.6-164.7 months). Neo-aortic, neo-pulmonary, and mitral valvar function did not differ. @entity997 was more frequent 1 year post-operatively in @entity3886 / @entity1757 (n = 4) than in @entity3886 /intact ventricular septum. The prevalence of @entity337 and @entity849 increased over time, especially in @entity1 with @entity3886 /intact ventricular septum. The presence of a @entity1757 in @entity1 undergoing arterial switch operation for @entity3886 only has a minor bearing for the development of @entity409 on the longer follow-up.
