Congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels and defibrillator lead endocarditis

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels and defibrillator lead endocarditis.

Homem 56 anos, referenciado ao nosso serviço em 1978, com o diagnóstico de cardiopatia congénita não cianótica operada: encerramento de comunicações interventricular (CIV) e interauricular (CIA) associado a correção de estenose valvular pulmonar. A radiografia do tórax mostrava mesocárdia. A partir de 1992 verificaram-se sintomas/sinais de insuficiência cardíaca, com sopro sistólico no bordo es...

Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare defect combining atrioventricular discordance with ventriculoarterial discordance. The atria are connected to the opposite ventricle (left atrium to right ventricle via a tricuspid valve) and the ventricles are connected to the incorrect great artery (right ventricle to aorta). Thus oxygenated blood is circulated syste...

Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries

Results Pre-operative SVEF was the only independent predictor of 1-year post-operative SVEF (p 0.0001). The late SVEF was preserved (defined as 40%) in 63% of patients who underwent surgery with an SVEF 40% compared with 10.5% of patients who underwent surgery with an SVEF 40%. Pre-operative variables associated with late mortality were an SVEF 40%, a subpulmonary ventricular systolic pressure ...
