The Surgery of 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...

بررسی الگوهای شریان کرونری در جمعیتی از نوزادان مبتلا به جابجایی شریان های بزرگ

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...

Historical Evolution of Surgery for Transposition of Great Arteries (TGA)

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 ...

Aortic translocation for transposition of great arteries and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

Repair of early left main stem stenosis after switch operation using an autologous innominate vein patch.

We describe the repair of the postoperative left main stem stenosis of a 24-day old male patient who initially underwent arterial switch operation for dextro-transposition of the great arteries. The repair was facilitated by using an autologous left innominate vein patch, while there was a shortage of suitable repair material in this neonate. Postoperative echocardiogram prior to discharge conf...

Edge-to-edge repair of tricuspid valve in a corrected transposition of the great vessels.

We describe the case of a 27-year-old Caucasian woman with corrected transposition of the great vessels, who presented with cardiac failure. She had severe regurgitation of the systemic tricuspid valve with a huge annulus that was not suitable for annuloplasty. She underwent a successful repair using the Alfieri edge-to-edge technique and was asymptomatic 15 months after surgery. Such a repair ...
