MRI Study After Arterial Switch Operation in Patients With Transposition of the Great Arteries

May 23, 2017 updated by: Kathrine Rydén Suther, Oslo University Hospital
This study involves adolescents operated with arterial switch procedure for transposition of the great arteries during the neonatal period. The purpose is to evaluate the coronary arteries and direct and indirect findings of coronary artery disease/complications with 3 tesla magnetic resonance imaging.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This study involves adolescents operated with arterial switch procedure for transposition of the great arteries during the neonatal period. The patients were operated with two different methods of re-implantation of the coronary arteries ("trap-door"/non-"trap-door", see description below).

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Switch "trap-door" re-implantation of the coronaries
Re-implantation of the coronary arteries into the neo-aortic sinuses through a "trap-door" as far distally as possible on the neo-aorta
Switch non-"trap-door" re-implantation of the coronaries
Re-implantation of the coronary arteries into the neo-aortic sinuses through small incisions or excision in the sinuses

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Direct visualization and status of the coronary arteries, global volume measurements, global and regional strain (myocardial contractility), extravascular, extracellular tissue volume fraction and late enhancement (myocardial fibrosis).
Time Frame: 10-15 years after surgery
10-15 years after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Comparison of image quality of direct visualization of the coronary arteries with and without contrast enhanced techniques.
Time Frame: 10-15 years after surgery
10-15 years after surgery
Comparison of coronary artery findings corresponding to indirect functional and morphological findings in MRI and echocardiography in the left and right ventricle.
Time Frame: 10-15 years after surgery
10-15 years after surgery
