Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is rare form of congenital heart diseases. It may be present with or without associated anomalies. Patients with CCTGA are usually diagnosed at early stages of life due to associated anomalies, but they may even remain asymptomatic till later decades of their life. We report a case of a 42-year-old man who presented at neurosurgery department with dizziness, seizures, and loss of consciousness, in whom isolated CCTGA was discovered incidentally. Further investigation depicted right ventricular hypertrophy, mild valvular regurgitation, mildly dilated pulmonary artery, low heart rate with AV dissociation, and third-degree heart block. These indicated for implantation of permanent pacemaker into the patient. The implantation of VVI mode pacemaker was uneventful and the patient is being followed up in the past eight months in favorable condition.

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare form of congenital heart diseases, present with or without associated anomalies. It is a complex congenital heart disease with both atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance. Such patients tend to develop systemic ventricular dysfuction with the stress of surgery. Patients with CCTGA are usually diagnosed at early stages of life due to associated anomalies, but they may even remain asymptomatic till later decades of their life. Literature search revealed very few reported cases of anaesthetic management of such high risk cases for non cardiac surgery. These patients have the tendency to develop cardiac dysrhythmias and left ventricular failure during intraoperative and postoperative period. We report anaesthetic management of a case of a 24 years old male with the congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries(CCTGA) who was operated for fracture left distal radius and ulna and right sided galeazzi fracture.

Congenitally corrected Transposition of Great Arteries is usually associated with multiple cardiac defects. Morphologic left-ventricular outflow (pulmonary) tract obstruction due to aneurysm of the membranous ventricular septum in patients with corrected transposition and ventricular septal defect is rare, but was reported in the past. This is even more uncommon in patients with dextrocardia, prompting us to document this case. Absence of the conus with resultant proximity of the aneurysm to the subpulmonary region and higher pressures in the left-sided morphologic right ventricle lead to obstruction of outflow tract in corrected transposition. Echocardiogram with Doppler interrogation and cardiac catheterization with selective cineangiography are the diagnostic tests of choice. Surgical resection of the aneurysm with patch closure of ventricular septal defect, avoiding injury to the conduction system, is recommended.University Heart Journal Vol. 10, No. 1, January 2014; 31-38

This article contents the results of computed tomography with intravenous bolus contrast media administration data analysis in children with transposition and congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries with the consequental performing of the multiplanar heart-axis-oriented reformations. Among 148 examined children transposition of great arteries was detected in 13 patients (9 boys and 4 girls aged 1-144 day of life); congenitally corrected transposition was found in 4 cases of children aged from 6 months to 15 years and 6 months (2 boys and 2 girls). In this article comprehensive anatomical criteria of each heart chamber morphology are presented and reformations where these criteria can be seen are shown. Also in the article is given comparative characterization of heart and great arteries structures in transposition and congenitally corrected transposition in every certain heart-axis-oriented reformation. By the results of consequently performed heart-axis-oriented reformations data analysis the peculiar anatomical signs of transposition and congenitally corrected transposition are determined. The results of data analysis show that from the list of offered reformations the peculiar anatomical signs of both kinds of transposition are significantly determined in long-axis of right ventricle inflow tract reformation, left heart chambers reformation, supply ventricle division reformation, short-axis reformation at the level of great arteries. Computed tomographic angiocardiography heart-axis-oriented multiplanar reformations permit full and correct assessment of heart and main vessels, which is important for planning of surgical treatment in congenital heart diseases.

Recent years, much scientific attention has been given to congenital heart diseases (CHD) and probable complications. Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare, complex form of congenital heart defects. CCTGA is characterized by atrioventricular (AV) and ventriculoarterial (VA) discordance and hence by a physiologically normal direction of blood flow sometimes called "double discordance". The development of complete AV block and global ventricular dysfunction has been identified as the cause of cardiac death. This paper presents a case of CCTGA with rhythm disorders and exertional dyspnea. CBMJ 2015 January: Vol. 04 No. 01 P: 37-40
