One hundred and sixty five cases of various types of transposition complexes were studied. Based on this and on recent studies of the embryology of the conotruncus, the following observations were made. Regardless of their relations with the ventricles, the semilunar valves may show d-transposition or i-transposition. In the situs solitus heart, the d-type of semilunar transposition is found in...

Prenatal diagnosis of D-transposition of the great arteries remains less frequent compared to other major congenital heart defects. In this study, we examined how often the 3-vessel and trachea view was abnormal in a large series of prenatally diagnosed cases of D-transposition of the great arteries. We found that an abnormal 3-vessel and trachea view in the shape of an "I" ("I-sign"), which re...

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...

From May 1963 to July 1972, 123 patients ranging in age from 20 days to 15 years, with Dtransposition of the great arteries, underwent an intraatrial baffle operation using a pericardial baffle. They previously had had a total of 121 various palliative procedures. Twenty-six children (21%) died in the early postoperative period. The operative mortality was 13% in transposition of the great arte...

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries CCTGA is a rare congenital disease first described by Von Rokitansky in 1875. Transposition of the great arteries comprises 2.6 - 7.8% of all cases of congenital heart disease, and if uncorrected, is commonly fatal in the first year of life. Patients with corrected transposition of the great arteries without associated defects may remai...
