Non-physiological Aortic Flow and Aortopathy in Adult Patients with Transposition of the Great Arteries after the Jatene Procedure: A Pilot Study Using Echo Planar 4D Flow MRI
Dilated aortic root and ascending aorta (AAO) with progressive aortic regurgitation is a wellknown sequela after arterial switch operation (ASO) in adults with transposition of the great arteries
(TGA).
They aimed to quantitatively assess aortic flow profiles in adults with TGA after ASO (Jatene
procedure with LeCompte maneuver) using echo planar imaging (EPI) 4D flow MRI.
The result shows that structure flow after the Jatene procedure may play an adjunctive role in promoting aortopathy.
