Objectives: In this study, a comparison of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and simultaneous transthoracic echocardiography data were obtained from patients with great artery transposition (TGA), who underwent arterial switch operation (ASO) surgery. In to discover the most effective and optimal viewing method during long-term follow-ups. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort included 20 TGA patients (16 male, 4 female), which had ASO surgery. Along with cardiac MRI and transthoracic echocardiography data were obtained from the images. The mean age was 93.00±29.82 months (60-144). Seventeen patients had TGA only. However, 3 patients with TGA included an existing ventricular septal defect. Results: We showed a meaningful correlation between echocardiographic variables (left ventricle dilatation of the left ventricle function of the aorta failure, myocardial performance index) and MRI parameters (ejection fraction of left ventricle dilatation of the left ventricle function of the aorta insufficiency). Conclusion: TGA patients require careful pre and post operative evaluation, anatomical and a functional use of cardiac indicators. For this purpose, both echocardiography and MRI are useful, safe, and trustworthy methods of diagnosis. Choosing the optimal imaging technique and lifetime reoccurring assessments of the left ventricle function is of vital importance in foreseeing complications, preventing morbidities, and creating a protocol. In clinical practice, the myocardium performance index provides values similar to that of the MRI about the left ventricle dilatation and left ventricle dysfunction. These results provide awareness about the use of specific parameters and the use of information based on quantitative data.
