| Итог: | Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the factors affecting mortality in infants who were followed up and treated with the diagnosis of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) in a neonatal-focused cardiovascular surgery unit.
Methods: The data of newborn babies who were followed up with the diagnosis of TGA in the pediatric cardiovascular surgery center focused on neonatology between February 2018 and February 2021 were analyzed retrospectively.
Results: When the patients with death were evaluated, in this group; presence of pulmonary hypertension in the preoperative period, impaired perfusion in the perioperative period and myocardial edema in the intraoperative period were found to be risk factors for mortality.
Conclusion: Correction of pulmonary hypertension and providing good perfusion in the preoperative period may help reduce mortality rates.
