Because babies with TGA require early treatment after birth, it is generally recommended that delivery takes place at or near a tertiary-care paediatric cardiology and paediatric cardiac surgery centre [44, 45]. Adhering to this practice enables the neonate to be in optimal condition and avoids neonatal retrieval transport-related complications and costs [46]. Although the delivery must be scheduled before the due date, the majority of women can have a vaginal delivery, which is generally recommended [47]. However, a planned caesarean delivery may be indicated if high-risk maternal or foetal features are identified.
