Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries

چکیده
Results Pre-operative SVEF was the only independent predictor of 1-year post-operative SVEF (p 0.0001). The late SVEF was preserved (defined as 40%) in 63% of patients who underwent surgery with an SVEF 40% compared with 10.5% of patients who underwent surgery with an SVEF 40%. Pre-operative variables associated with late mortality were an SVEF 40%, a subpulmonary ventricular systolic pressure 50 mm Hg, atrial fibrillation, and New York Heart Association functional class III to IV.

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare anomaly, where the systemic circulation is supported by the morphological right ventricle. We present a 43 year-old asymptomatic male, a former competitive short-distance runner, with recently diagnosed congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. To our knowledge this is the first report of such a case.
متن کاملHeart transplantation in atrial switch and in congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries
Background Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) and those who underwent atrial switch eventually face systemic ventricular failure due to deterioration of the morphological and structural function. Heart transplantation is at present one of the two best available options. We report our institutional experience of heart transplantation in this group, w...
متن کاملThe appearance of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries on myocardial perfusion imaging.
We present a case of incidentally discovered congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA), initially seen on stress-rest myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). ccTGA has a characteristic appearance on MPI, which reflects the functional alterations associated with this condition.
متن کامل[Cardiac resynchronization in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries].
Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare heart defect that can be associated with systemic ventricular dysfunction and conduction disturbances. The use of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with congenital heart disease is not fully established. The authors report a case of cardiac resynchronization therapy in a 31-year-old woman with a history of congenit...
متن کاملThallium myocardial scintigraphy in congenitally-corrected transposition of the great arteries.
A case of congenitally-corrected transposition of the great arteries is presented with the correlation of thallium scintigraphic results with catheterization data. The essential features of the thallium scintigrams were marked counterclockwise rotation of the heart with perfusion abnormalities of the inferior wall and apex. Since patients with congenitally-corrected transposition of the great a...
متن کاملAssessment of systemic right ventricular function in adult overweight and obese patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
BACKGROUND In congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries the right ventricle (RV) supports systemic circulation, and patients are prone to develop heart failure over time. Chronic volume overload secondary to obesity may contribute to premature dysfunction of the systemic RV. AIM The aim of our study was to assess the systemic RV function in overweight/obese adult patients wit...
