Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries: surgical repair in adulthood

Ann Thorac Surg. 2007 Feb;83(2):672-4. doi: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2006.07.015.

Abstract

We report a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, dextrocardia in congestive heart failure, with severe tricuspid regurgitation; a large ventricular septal defect, and giant left atrium. The patient underwent a two-ventricle repair with physiologic correction and had an excellent postoperative outcome.
