Background:Coronary flow reserve (CFR) is reduced in patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) after the arterial switch operation (ASO). Dissection of the great arteries and coronary reimplantation may result in sympathetic denervation, with a negative effect on myocardial perfusion.Methods and Results:18 patients with TGA participated in the study; 9 had ASO (20.8±5.8 years). Controls were 9 patients after Rastelli procedure (22.1±6.8 years). Sympathetic innervation was measured by positron emission tomography using11C epinephrine (EPI). Left ventricular EPI-retention ranged from 6.1% to 15.9%/min. Patients undergoing more than 1 operation had significantly reduced EPI-retention (P<0.001). EPI-retention and time interval after surgery correlated significantly (r=0.81, P<0.001) and was higher in patients undergoing surgery at an earlier age (P<0.001). No significant difference could be found between patients after ASO or Rastelli repair. Aortic cross-clamp time inversely correlated with EPI-retention (r=−0.72; P<0.001).Conclusions:The ASO procedure had a negative effect on sympathetic innervation of the myocardium, but because of reinnervation myocardial perfusion is not essentially altered by this mechanism. Heart surgery and prolonged aortic cross-clamp time have a negative effect on the norepinephrine content of cardiac sympathetic nerve terminals. Parameters such as ventricular performance and cardiopulmonary exercise capacity were unaffected by the degree of EPI-retention. (Circ J 2014; 78: 1717–1722)
