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...
متن کاملCongenitally 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 ...
متن کاملHeart transplantation in atrial switch and in congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries
Background Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) and those who underwent atrial switch eventually face systemic ventricular failure due to deterioration of the morphological and structural function. Heart transplantation is at present one of the two best available options. We report our institutional experience of heart transplantation in this group, w...
متن کاملPregnancy 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...
متن کاملCongenitally Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries with Severe Rhythm Disturbances
Within recent years, much scientific attention has been devoted to adults with congenital heart disease (CHD) and probable complications. Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare, complex form of congenital heart defects. CCTGA is characterized by atrioventricular (AV) and ventriculoarterial (VA) discordance and, hence, by a physiologically normal direction o...
