چکیده

Anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries (ACMGA) is defined as parallel arising of aorta and main pulmonary artery (PA) roots although ventriculoarterial connection is normal. Abnormally related aorta arises from the left ventricle, while abnormally related PA arises from the right ventricle. It can be diagnosed with via echocardiography. In some cases, additional imaging modalities such as computerized tomographic angiography and magnetic resonance are required. In this article, we presented two cases of ACMGA, 5-month-old boy and 1-month-old girl. We wanted to point out the importance of differential diagnosis of other great artery anomalies from this rare pathology.

Anatomically corrected malposition of great arteries

Anatomically corrected malposition of great arteries (ACMGA) is a rare form of congenital heart disease in which the great arteries arise above the anatomically correct ventricles but have abnormal spatial relationship. We report the case of a 26-year-old female with ACMGA and tunnel type of subaortic obstruction. The abnormal relationship and segmental arrangement necessitates systematic appro...

We present the case of a 12-month-old patient, echocardiographically diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot, with indications for surgical treatment due to cyanosis.

The differential diagnosis of levo-transposed or malposed aorta. An angiocardiographic study.

The levo-transposed aorta has previously been considered diagnostic of corrected transposition of the great arteries and hence ventricular inversion in situs solitus. Increasing experience with conotruncal abnormalities has shown that an abnormally leftward aorta may be found in patients with normally related ventricles (D-ventricular loop) and hemodynamically complete transposition of the grea...
