BACKGROUND: Long-term follow-up of @entity1 who underwent @entity3886 with @entity3585 ( @entity3585 ) has rarely been brought into the focus. METHODS: Of 299 @entity1 who underwent an arterial switch operation between January 1991 and January 2001, 23 @entity1 had anatomic @entity3585 . Age ranged from 4 days to 18 years (median 90 days) and weight ranged from 2.6 to 35 kg (median 4.3 kg). Surgical management included arterial switch operation, closure of @entity1757 wherever indicated, and excision of @entity3585 . RESULTS: Among @entity1 with preoperative @entity3585 there were 2 early deaths and 8 @entity1 had mild @entity338 at the time of discharge. Follow-up ranged from 8 months to 9 years (mean 60 +/- 12 months). In 4 @entity1 who had mild @entity338 at discharge, the regurgitation progressed to moderate or severe degree after a follow-up of 22 to 72 months. In 1 @entity1 mild @entity339 present at the time of discharge progressed to severe @entity339 . This @entity1 subsequently underwent double valve replacement. CONCLUSIONS: Presence of preoperative anatomical @entity3585 in @entity1 undergoing arterial switch operation predicts high incidence of @entity86 .
