The object of this report is to describe the long-term outcome of patients operated for transposition of the great vessels. Understanding what we mean by transposition of the great vessels, the surgical options with their advantages, limitations and complications, helps the cardiologist decide on the mode of follow-up, the investigations and even the reoperations that these patients may need. The authors review the results of the literature and their experience over the years with children and adults with congenital heart disease. Although considerable progress has been made in the management of a condition considered to be constantly and often rapidly fatal, most of the procedures which allow patients to have a normal or quasi-normal quality of life have not resolved all the problems and require maintenance of long-term follow-up.
