Congenitally corrected transposition

Congenitally corrected transposition

Congenitally corrected transposition is a rare cardiac malformation characterized by the combination of discordant atrioventricular and ventriculo-arterial connections, usually accompanied by other cardiovascular malformations. Incidence has been reported to be around 1/33,000 live births, accounting for approximately 0.05% of congenital heart malformations. Associated malformations may include...

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 ...

Pregnancy among women with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries.

OBJECTIVES The outcome of pregnancy in congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels was studied in 22 women. BACKGROUND Women with congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels often reach childbearing age. Although reports on the outcome of pregnancy in these women are available, the number of patients is small. METHODS The medical and surgical databases at the May...
