Abstract

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a one of the most frequent cyanotic congenital heart disease characterized by atrioventricular concordance and ventriculoarterial discordance. Due to severe clinical symptoms which manifest immediately after birth in the form of arterial hypoxemia the disease requires surgical intervention in the first days of life. Nowadays a lot of different surgical methods of correction are known. The article describes the evolution of surgical techiques used for treatment of TGA beginning with the first palliative procedures which gradually evolved to modern complex techiques.
