Although Intra-atrial Reentrant Tachycardia (IART) is well described in ACHD, Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is uncommon, but increasingly recognized. Patients with Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) and congenitally corrected-TGA (CC-TGA) have a high burden of AA at a relatively young age. However, ...

متن کاملCatheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in transposition of the great arteries treated with mustard atrial baffle.
The survival of patients with D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) has dramatically improved with corrective surgical procedures, including the atrial and arterial switch operations. In the current era, the majority of the adult patients typically have undergone atrial switch operations, either a Senning or a Mustard procedure. Late complications include baffle obstruction, systemic ve...
متن کاملA 33-day-old Infant with the Transposition of the Great Arteries; A Rare Case Report

The discordant ventriculoarterial arrangement results in parallel circulation, it so is vital to understand the management. We report a rare interesting but critical case of 33-day-old boy who developed cyanosis and had transposition of great arteries combined with interrupte...
