Transposition of the great arteries
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2000Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is a lethal condition without intervention. Cross-sectional echocardiography is the diagnostic investigation of choice. Intravenous infusion of prostaglandin is employed to maintain ductal patency and allow mixing of blood, thus improving tissue oxygenation.

Coronary arteries in transposition of the great arteries
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1994The 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 in a cat
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1985Transposition of the great arteries, a congenital cardiac disorder, was diagnosed in a 4-month-old domestic short-haired kitten. Angiography revealed a patent ductus arteriosis, with the pulmonary artery originating from the left ventricle and the aorta originating from the right ventricle. Blood gas analysis suggested a high ventricular septal defect.

Treatment of transposition of the great arteries
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 1997Today, the arterial switch operation is the treatment of choice for patients with transposition of the great arteries. Midterm follow-up confirms the initial hopes for good systemic ventricular function and lack of arrhythmias. A two-stage operation can be performed in patients seen after 1 month of age or in subjects who have had an atrial switch ...

Echocardiography of transposition of the great arteries
Cardiology in the Young, 2012AbstractThe successful diagnosis, surgical planning, and long-term care of children with transposition of the great arteries require high-quality cardiac imaging with echocardiography. Echocardiography must identify the relevant anatomic variants of transposition of the great arteries, such as of ventricular septal defects and aortic arch anomalies ...

Transposition of the great arteries
Kyobu geka. The Japanese journal of thoracic surgery, 2004This report describes changes in the treatment strategy for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) undergoing primary arterial switch operation early in the neonates in our institution. Decrease in pulmonary vascular resistance after birth results in deterioration of left ventricular (LV) performance as a systemic ventricle and right ventricular (RV)

Transposition of the Great Arteries
2017A 6-h-old male infant was delivered with Apgar scores of six and four at a community hospital. Initial SaO2 was 78 % and it has decreased to 56 % despite endotracheal intubation and supplemental oxygen. The blood pressure is 40/22 with a heart rate of 188. There is a significant metabolic acidosis on an arterial blood gas.

Transposition of Great Arteries
2012Transposition 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.
