Hi pippa, still got everything crossed for you for leo's op.
on the rastelli repair, this was mentioned to us as a likely route for evie during our antenatal scans at king's. obviously that was very early stages so nothing was discussed in any detail. in any event, there does seem to be some difference in approach between king's and the evelina - at king's, it seemed as though the preference would be for an arterial switch in the first week of life rather than doing an early interim fix and the corrective rastelli surgery later on. but at the evelina, it seems that the temporary fix followed by full surgery is more common.
sorry i can't offer any more insight than that but it would be interesting to hear what you find out.
