Corrected transposition of great vessels and Ebstein's anomaly of tricuspid valve. Echocardiographic findings.

Corrected transposition of great vessels and Ebstein's anomaly of tricuspid valve. Echocardiographic findings.

A case is reported concerning echocardiographic findings in a patient with congenital corrected transposition of the great vessels and Ebstein's anomaly of the tricuspid valve. This presented an unusual opportunity to study atrioventricular valve closure in a patient in whom the Ebstein's malformation involved the systemic atrioventricular valve. The mitral to tricuspid valve closure interval w...

Edge-to-edge repair of tricuspid valve in a corrected transposition of the great vessels.

We describe the case of a 27-year-old Caucasian woman with corrected transposition of the great vessels, who presented with cardiac failure. She had severe regurgitation of the systemic tricuspid valve with a huge annulus that was not suitable for annuloplasty. She underwent a successful repair using the Alfieri edge-to-edge technique and was asymptomatic 15 months after surgery. Such a repair ...

Congenital tricuspid atresia with transposition of the great vessels.

Congenital tricuspid atresia has been classified into two groups, those with and those without transposition of the great vessels (Kiihne, 1906). Each of these groups is further subdivided according to whether there is an increase or a decrease in the pulmonary blood flow (Edwards and Burchell, 1949). Tricuspid atresia with transposition of the great vessels and an increase in pulmonary blood f...

Progressive tricuspid valve disease in patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.

BACKGROUND The outcome of patients with corrected transposition of the great arteries (CTGA) is variably affected by associated intracardiac defects, tricuspid valve competence, and systemic right ventricular (RV) function. The relative importance of these factors in long-term outcome has not been evaluated. METHODS AND RESULTS Since 1958, 40 patients with CTGA were studied to determine risk ...
