Transposition of the great vessels.

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...

Echocardiography of the Intra - atrial Baffle in Dextro - transposition of the Great Vessels By NAVIN

Twelve patients with dextro-transposition of the great vessels (age eight months to four years) were studied by echocardiography following Mustard's procedure. Nine of them had also been studied preoperatively. Postoperatively all patients demonstrated structural echoes in the atrial cavity behind the pulmonary root. In ten, the motion pattern generally resembled that of a stenotic atrioventric...

Electrocardiogram in corrected transposition of the great vessels of the bulbo-ventricular inversion type.

Twenty cases of corrected transposition of the great vessels of the bulbo-ventricular inversion type, either lone or combined with other intracardiac anomalies, were analysed. Rhythm and/or atrio-ventricular conduction disturbances were common to all groups of cases. QRS pattern changes were found to be related both to ventricular inversion and to ventricular hypertrophy. Isolated corrected tra...

The Coronary Circulation in Complete Transposition of the Great Vessels.

While the anatomy of the coronary arteries in complete transposition of the great vessels has been studied by several authors, the overall problem of adequacy of the coronary blood supply in this condition has received less attention. Spitzer (1923) described the probable embryological basis for partial or complete transposition of the coronary arteries. Astley and Parsons (1952) thought that m...

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...
