Complete atrioventricular block in an adult with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with interrupted inferior vena cava

چکیده
A 56-year-old man got admitted as he was suffering from dizziness for 3 days. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed complete atrioventricular (AV) block with ventricular rhythm of 35/min. We found that he had no inferior vena cava (IVC) which drained into right atrium in the middle of temporary pacing lead insertion. Venous drainage into superior vena cava from dilated azygos vein was identified after venogram. Echocardiogram revealed a congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA). Chest computed tomography (CT) angiogram revealed AV and ventriculoarterial discordance with reversed ventricles and interrupted IVC with azygos continuation. DDD pacemaker was implanted via left axillary vein without any problem.

A 51-year old woman was treated for atrial fibrillation. A chest X-ray showed dextrocardia. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. Multidetector64 computerized tomography scan imaging confirmed the diagnosis (Fig. 1) and, additionally, showed a persistent left superior vena cava and a partial anomalous pulmonary venous connection (F...

A 76-year-old woman with no cardiac history was admitted to our hospital for knee joint surgery. The ECG showed negative T wave in leads I, aVL, V3-V6. Transthoracic echocardiography showed diffuse mild hypokinesis and prominent trabeculations of the left side ventricle (Picture 1). Mild aortic regurgitation and mild left atrioventricular regurgitation were also observed. Contrast-enhanced thre...

Background 4D flow magnetic resonance imaging appears as a reliable tool for blood flow quantification. However, in patients with transposition of the great arteries corrected by arterial switch, the choice of a high velocity encoding (venc) to avoid velocity aliasing due to pulmonary stenosis, could decrease the accuracy of blood flow quantification in vessels such as superior or inferior vena...

Heterotaxy syndrome or situs ambiguous is a rare congenital disease in which the pattern of anatomical organization of the thoraco-abdominal visceral and vascular structures is not arranged in normal position. Patients with heterotaxy syndrome represent a wide range of anatomical variations including thoraco-abdominal structures. Here we report a rare case of asymptomatic heterotaxy syndrome in...
