Various operative techniques and a high incidence of reinterventions are described. The aim of this retrospective single-centre study was to evaluate operative data, mortality and reintervention rate with special regard to the AA.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>At the Children\u2019s Heart Center Linz, 50 patients with the above-mentioned diagnosis have been corrected by a simultaneous repair between 2001 and 2022. Thirty-seven children had TBA, 13 had TGA and 5 of them had an interrupted AA. The median age at operation was 7 [interquartile range (IQR) 5\u20139] days, weight 3.38 (IQR 2.9\u20133.8) kg and follow-up 9.3 (IQR 3.1\u201314.5) years. The AA reconstruction was performed without patch material in 49 cases.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>There was 1 in-hospital mortality in a TBA patient and 1 late mortality (7\u2009years later, neuroblastoma). 14\/49 patients needed at least 1 reoperation (28.6%, all TBA) and 3 further patients had catheter reintervention or radiofrequency ablation only (6.1%, 2 TBA). Seventy-five percent of these procedures affected the right heart\/pulmonary arteries; there was 1 re-coarctation repair.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The simultaneous correction of TBA and TGA with AA obstruction or interruption is a safe operation with very low mortality.
