Historical Evolution of Surgery for Transposition of Great Arteries (TGA)
نویسنده
چکیده
The science and art of cardiac surgery has made rapid development in the past 65 years. The surgery for transposition of great arteries (TGA) symbolises the manner in which cardiac surgery has progressed. The eventually successful solution in the form of the now popular arterial switch operation (ASO) was elucidated after multiple contributions from several surgical stalwarts and geniuses over more than 35 years (Figure 1). This review traces the various milestones along this journey.

A 33-day-old Infant with the Transposition of the Great Arteries; A Rare Case Report
Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) is the one most common cyanotic congenital heart disease in neonates. 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...

Background and purpose: Nowadays cardiovascular developments in pumping of heart-lung and improvements in anesthesia care, including intubation, have made early surgical intervention possible to correct life-threatening congenital anatomic abnormalities in patients of lower ages. This study was performed to evaluate the coronary artery patterns in neonates with transposition of the great arteri...

Background After atrial redirection surgery (the Mustard and Senning operations) for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) the systemic right ventricle (RV) suffers from late systolic failure with resultant high morbidity and mortality. The mechanisms of late systemic RV failure are poorly characterised. We hypothesised that diffuse interstitial expansion representing diffuse fibrosis would...

Measurement of pressure and oxygen saturation in the pulmonary artery is essential in many cases. Difficulty in catheterization of the pulmonary artery in transposition of the great arteries has led to the development of several ...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of pulmonary vascular disease in complete transposition of the great arteries.
Forty autopsy cases of complete transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and 22 autopsy cases of ventricular septal defect (VSD) were analyzed histologically for evidence of vascular damage due to pulmonary vascular disease (PVD). Positive correlations were generally observed between an index of pulmonary vascular disease (IPVD) and blood pressure of pulmonary circulation. No significant diffe...
