Prenatal detection of transposition of the great arteries reduces mortality and morbidity

To evaluate the prenatal detection of transposition of the great arteries (TGA), after the introduction of a Dutch screening program in 2007, as well as the effect of prenatal detection on pre‐ and postsurgical mortality and morbidity.
