Growth after surgical repair of simple D-transposition of the great arteries.

The effect of the Mustard procedure on growth was assesed in 45 patients with simple D-transposition of the great arteries (DTGA) surviving for at least one year after operation. Growth failure (below the third percentile for height, weight, or both) was found in 25 of the 45 patients preoperatively and in 8 patients postoperatively. The principal factors associated with poor growth before repair were advancing age, increased pulmonary and systemic flow, and subpulmonic stenosis. In those patients without postoperative growth failure, growth had returned to the normal range within two years. All patients wit retarded growth after the Mustard procedure had had preoperative growth failure as well. In addition, all 8 patients with postoperative growth failure had one or more amjor residual hemodynamic abnormalities, whereas residual lesions were present in only 10 of 37 patients with normal postoperative growth.
