CONGENITALLY CORRECTED TRANSPOSITION OF GREAT ARTERIES- A CASE REPORT

ASHWINI KAMATH

Abstract


Abstract : Most cases with congenitally corrected                       transposition of great arteries (CC-TGA) are diagnosed in childhood because of associated cardiac abnormalities. When isolated or complicated by other mild anomalies, CC-TGA can cause no symptoms until adult life or can even go  unrecognized. However, most of these patients present with heart failure with age. Our patient, a 28 yr old, multiparous lady was admitted and evaluated for progressive                        dyspnea,palpitations and chest pain. Patient was diagnosed to have CC-TGA with severe regurgitation of left sided(tricuspid) valve on echocardiography. Clinical findings, diagnostic methods and management are discussed briefly.
