The Coronary Circulation in Complete Transposition of the Great Vessels.

While the anatomy of the coronary arteries in complete transposition of the great vessels has been studied by several authors, the overall problem of adequacy of the coronary blood supply in this condition has received less attention. Spitzer (1923) described the probable embryological basis for partial or complete transposition of the coronary arteries. Astley and Parsons (1952) thought that m...

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...

Echocardiography in assessment of infants with complete d-transposition of great arteries.

Acid-base balance in complete transposition of the great vessels.

In complete transposition of the great vessels the pulmonary and systemic circulations exist as two separate circuits. Although the pulmonary and the systemic blood flows may vary widely, the effective pulmonary blood flow is often small (Shaher, 1964). While the acid-base balance in the systemic circuit has been studied by several workers (Sunico, Harned, and Ordway, 1960; Gootman, Scarpelli, ...

Transposition of the great vessels with hypoplasia of the right ventricle.

Eight cases are reported in which complete transposition of the great vessels was associated with varying degrees of hypoplasia of the right ventricle. In three, the correct diagnosis was suspected on the basis of certain electrovectorcardiographic findings and confirmed by selective angiography. Quantitative analysis of ventricular volumes and valve circumferences demonstrated that these cases...
