Transposition of the great arteries

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 2011
Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a complex congenital heart defect usually defined within the group of conotruncal defects. Some astonishing similarities between the spiral pattern of great arteries and the spiral pattern of snail shells and a possible common genetic mechanism of normal and abnormal anatomical aspects of the heart and ...

Rare Anomaly of Great Arteries

Pediatric Cardiology, 2012
A full-term male infant was transferred to our neonatal intensive care unit because of tachypnea and mild hypoxia. Right atrium and right ventricle enlargement were suspected in the prenatal examination. Echocardiography was performed, and a rare combination of anomalies was observed. The ascending aorta and the main pulmonary artery joined together at

Coronary arteries in transposition of the great arteries

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1994
The topic of coronary arteries in transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is complex and confusing despite having been the subject of several recently published reports. One hundred thirty-three autopsy specimens of uncomplicated TGA were studied, with special attention to methodologic issues in anatomic description and classification.

Transposition of the great arteries

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1971
Discussions of the various presenting forms of transposition and initial management of the infant in terms of relief of cyanosis and control of congestive heart failure precede a description of the author’s technique of palliation by balloon atrioseptostomy, which provides for adequate intracardiac mixing until total surgical correction can be ...

Transposition of Great Arteries

2012
Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a form of conotruncal abnormalities in which the aorta arises from the morphological right ventricle and pulmonary artery arises from the morphological left ventricle (ventriculoarterial discordance). TGA encompasses two distinct defects, complete TGA and congenitally corrected TGA.

Semilunar Valves/Great Arteries

1987
Congenital abnormalities of the ventricular outflow tracts, semilunar valves, and intrathoracic great arteries are frequently a diagnostic challenge to the echocardiographer. In this regard, it is important to understand the morphologic features and interrelationships of the normal heart and great vessels.
