I remember being blown away when they started doing TGA repairs in infancy back in the 80s and 90s.
Check out how far they can push the envelope now.
For those who are more technically aware of this kind of work: does anybody know if DeLeon had a Rastelli switch performed, or some other form? Since they did not use bypass (and I assume were relying on his PDA for whatever perfusion there was), was he even a candidate for Rastelli?
One other thing of which I was not aware was the relative frequency of TGA in the populace: "Jerrick’s condition, known as transposition of the great arteries, occurs in about 40 of every 100,000 live births." 0.04%? That's a lot higher than I had thought.
