Echocardiography. 2023 Sep;40(9):1016-1020. doi: 10.1111/echo.15660. Epub 2023 Jul 27.

Abstract

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare clinical entity, which usually presents during adulthood with associated defects; atrioventricular block, heart failure, systemic valve failure, and arrhythmias usually complicate the clinical course. Even rarer is associated hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which complicates the disease course and clinical decision-making. Herein, we present a patient with this condition who underwent heart transplantation, with adequate clinical resolution.

Keywords: cardiac transplantation; congenital heart disease; congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
