Abstract
Introduction: Congenital heart defects are important causes of childhood morbidity, requiring early diagnosis and treatment to ensure survival. Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) stands out as one of the most serious conditions, requiring fundamental surgical interventions. TGA occurs when the positions of the aorta and pulmonary artery are inverted, requiring surgical correction in the first days of life. The Jatene procedure has been widely used to correct this anomaly. Objective: To reveal and describe the current stage and future perspectives for bibliographical production about transposition of great arteries in congenital heart diseases. Methodology: This study is a bibliographic review on current and future perspectives about the study of transposition of great arteries in congenital heart diseases. For this purpose, articles were searched in PubMed using the search tool: "Arterial Switch Operation" AND "Congenital Heart Defects". 200 articles were located, all of which were used in the scientometric analysis. Results and discussion: The present study analyzed 201 articles published between 1983 and 2024, including 1,032 authors distributed in 27 countries, in addition to presenting an average of 6.42 authors per publication. Scientific production in this scope demonstrated an annual growth of 4.47%, with a peak in 2018. The five most relevant journals represented 42% of total publications, with "The Annals of Thoracic Surgery" standing out. Among the 483 MeSH keywords, "humans" and "heart defects, congenital" were the most recurrent. The United States, Japan and Germany led in publications, from which the USA contributed with 34 articles (16.9% of the total). The analysis revealed an increase in volume and interest in publications in this field, reflecting advances in surgical techniques and in care of pediatric patients with TGA. Conclusion: This review elucidates the evolution of scientific research on TGA, demonstrating the evolution on this topic and presenting the main protagonists of this development.
