Transposition of Great Arteries

[@CatsRule]

My baby daughter was born with TGA in 1986. She had 2 surgeries ( 1 at 3 months in order to make an additional hole plus pulmonary banding in order to have enough oxygen to go to her body). She did fine for 3 months, but then lost weight, so the total mustard thing repair was done, when she was 7 months old. She did not wake up after the 7 hour surgery. I am glad to see, that these days babies with TGA have a much better survival rate.

Thanks so much for sharing. I'm sorry to hear that. We are still learning so much and each case is so unique. Hopefully with time we can help more and more babies with this.

I am glad for you, Thomas. My baby girl was not that lucky in 1986.
