TGA Repair Surgery – Correcting a Complex Congenital Heart Defect

Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) Repair Introduction

Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) Repair is a heart surgery done to correct a serious congenital defect where the two main arteries leaving the heart are switched. This condition causes blood circulation problems because oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood do not mix properly. The surgery helps restore normal blood flow, allowing the heart and body to receive enough oxygen.

Surgical Process of TGA Repair

During TGA repair, surgeons perform an arterial switch operation, where the positions of the aorta and pulmonary artery are corrected. The coronary arteries are carefully detached and reattached to the new aorta to ensure proper blood supply to the heart muscle. This surgery is done under cardiopulmonary bypass, which temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs. Specialized tools such as vascular clamps, cannulas, and surgical retractors are used for precision. The procedure is performed in infants, usually within the first few weeks of life, to prevent long-term complications. Successful repair restores normal circulation and greatly improves survival rates.

Why it’s done?

• To correct the abnormal connection of the aorta and pulmonary artery.
• To improve oxygen supply throughout the body.
• To prevent severe complications such as heart failure or organ damage.
• To allow children with TGA to grow and develop normally.
