Fig 3 Kaplan-Meier survival curve (blue line) is shown with the 95% confidence limits (range bars), with circles indicating censored patients.

Fig 4 Survival comparison is shown between heterotaxy patients with pulmonary atresia/pulmonary stenosis with total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR; dashed red line; red circles indicating censored patients) and those without TAPVR (solid blue line, blue circles indicating censored patients). Log-rank test showed significantly worsened survival in the TAPVR group (p = 0.038). The range bars show the 95% confidence limits.

Fig 5 Survival comparison is shown between heterotaxy patients with pulmonary atresia (PA)/pulmonary stenosis (PS) with total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) who underwent operations at less than 30 days of age (solid red line; red circles indicating censored patients) vs the remaining patients in the cohort (dashed blue line, blue circles indicating censored patients). The log-rank test showed significant difference in survival between the two groups (p = 0.001). The range bars show the 95% confidence limits.

Fig 6 Drawing shows a patient with a left aortic arch and bilaterally discontinuous pulmonary arteries (PAs). (Ao = aorta; RA = right atrium; RPA = right pulmonary artery; RV = right ventricle; SVC = superior vena cava.)

Fig 7 Surgical reconstruction is shown in a patient with left aortic arch and bilaterally discontinuous pulmonary arteries. After ductal resection, the right subclavian artery and left carotid artery are used to reconstruct right and left pulmonary artery respectively.
