It is now 50 years since the first intra-atrial repair for transposition of the great arteries was reported and the Senning and Mustard operations have transformed the prognosis of this previously fatal condition. The Senning operation has been associated with a lower incidence of late arterial baffle obstruction than the Mustard procedure, but the development of arrhythmia and the progressive decline in the function of the systemic right ventricle has been reported to a comparable degree after both operations. Indeed, these complications have been considered by many to be inevitable and have
