Treatment of Myocardial Infarction and Mitral Regurgitation in a Patient with Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries

J Heart Valve Dis. 2016 Nov;25(6):742-744.

Abstract

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CTGA) is a rare congenital heart disease. In patients with functional CTGA with circumflex artery occlusion and mitral regurgitation (MR), the right ventricle functions as the left ventricle. Coronary artery bypass grafting with mitral valve replacement is an effective treatment for CTGA with concomitant myocardial infarction (MI) and MR.
