Transposition of Great Arteries: New Insights into the Pathogenesis
Transposition of great arteries (TGA) is one of the most common and severe congenital heart diseases (CHD). It is also one of the most mysterious CHD because it has no precedent in phylogenetic and ontogenetic development, it does not represent an alternative physiological model of blood circulation and its etiology and morphogenesis are still largely unknown. However, recent epidemiologic, exp...
متن کاملTransposition of the great arteries
Transposition of the great arteries (TGA), also referred to as complete transposition, is a congenital cardiac malformation characterised by atrioventricular concordance and ventriculoarterial (VA) discordance. The incidence is estimated at 1 in 3,500-5,000 live births, with a male-to-female ratio 1.5 to 3.2:1. In 50% of cases, the VA discordance is an isolated finding. In 10% of cases, TGA is ...
متن کاملTransposition of the great arteries.
Many patients with ventriculoarterial discordance have survived to adulthood. Those with complete transposition of the great arteries have often had an atrial switch procedure (Mustard or Senning operation) performed, which leaves the morphological right ventricle (RV) supporting the systemic circulation. RV failure and tricuspid regurgitation are common. Some patients may ultimately require ca...
متن کاملTransposition of the Great Arteries
A nonsurgical method of creating atrial septal defects using a balloon catheter has been reviewed, and important procedural and technical details have been presented. The results of balloon atrioseptostomy in 31 infants with transposition of the great arteries have been reported and compared with those from the surgical creation of atrial septal defects. All 31 patients survived balloon atriose...
