Aortopulmonary collateral arteries: a rare complication after arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries
نویسندگان
چکیده
Collateral vascular arteries from the descending aorta to the pulmonary arteries are uncommon after arterial switch operation. Here, we report the case of a baby girl treated with coil embolization for abnormal blood flow from the descending aorta to the pulmonary arteries after arterial switch operation. A baby girl weighing 1324 g was delivered at 32 weeks 4 days of gestation, and she had D-transposition of the great arteries and a ventricular septal defect. She underwent nitrogen inhalation to reduce pulmonary blood flow before arterial switch operation. After the operation, she presented with left heart failure due to the presence of abnormal blood flow from the descending aorta to the pulmonary arteries, and she was successfully treated with coil embolization. After the treatment, her condition improved dramatically, and she was discharged without any complications.

A 1-day-old infant with a prenatal diagnosis of transposition of the great arteries was admitted to our unit. He was born at term, weighing 3.2 kg. He arrived in a stable condition, with saturations of 88%, on a prostaglandin infusion at a rate of 5 ng/kg per min in accordance with the prenatal plan. Echocardiogram demonstrated transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum ...

We present a case of iatrogenic aortopulmonary fistula following pulmonary artery (PA) stenting late after arterial switch operation (ASO) for D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA), an unusual complication that may be encountered more frequently in contemporary adult cardiology clinics. The diagnosis should be sought in the face of unexplained heart failure in patients who underwent ASO...

The arterial switch operation (Jatene procedure) is the treatment of choice for transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA-IVS) in neonatal age, because of the low mortality and morbidity during long term follow up. Right ventricular outflow obstruction is the most frequent postoperative complication, occurring with suYcient severity to require reintervention in up ...
متن کاملA 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...

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) plays a major role in the evaluation of patients with transposition of the great arteries, especially during follow-up after surgical intervention such as the arterial switch operation (ASO). It is recommended in recent guidelines that cardiovascular MR should be integrated in the routine evaluation of all postoperative patients with transposition of the g...
