Is the function of all cardiac valves after the arterial switch operation influenced by an associated ventricular septal defect?

abstract：:Approximately 32,000 infants are born with CHDs each year in the United States of America. Of every 1000 live births, 2.3 require surgical or transcatheter intervention in the first year of life. There are few more stressful times for parents than when their neonate receives a diagnosis of complex CHD requiring surger...
