Figure 5 Freedom from reoperation in the Rastelli–atrial switch (RAS) and arterial–atrial switch (AAS) procedures was not statistically different (P = .09).

Figure 6 Freedom from reoperation on the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) was significantly greater in the hemi-Mustard group compared with that seen in the conventional atrial baffle group (P = .019).

Figure 8 Functional status after anatomic repair. All patients undergoing the Rastelli–atrial switch (RAS) procedure were in New York Heart Association class I at follow-up. Impaired functional status was found in 4 patients undergoing the arterial–atrial switch (AAS) procedure.
