Fig 2 Operations for dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) in the Pediatric Cardiac Care Consortium, expressed as percent of total d-TGA operations in the bar graph (arterial switch, black; Mustard atrial switch, red; Senning atrial switch, blue) as well as raw number of each operation.

Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier curves for overall transplant-free survival of patients with detro-transposition of the great arteries are shown by operation group: arterial switch operation (ASO [black line]) or atrial switch (purple line). For the period after 10 years, mortality hazard ratio (HR) for ASO versus atrial switch is displayed, adjusted for sex, transposition complexity, and surgical center. (CI = confidence interval.)

Fig 4 Kaplan-Meier survival curves for transplant-free survival of patients with d-transposition of the great arteries are shown by operation group—arterial switch operation (ASO [black line]) or atrial switch (purple line)—conditional on survival to hospital discharge after initial operation. For the period after 10 years, mortality hazard ratio (HR) of ASO versus (vs.) atrial switch is displayed, adjusted for sex, transposition complexity, and surgical center. (CI = confidence interval.)
