    The severity of symptoms depends on the type of TGV, and the type and size of other heart defects that may be present (ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect, or patent ductus arteriosus). Most babies with TGA have blue skin color (cyanosis) in the first hours or days of their lives, since dextro-TGA is the more common type.

  3. Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect - Wikipedia

    Heart sounds of a ventricular septal defect patient. The condition consists of atresia affecting the pulmonary valve and a hypoplastic right ventricular outflow tract. The ventricular septal defect doesn't impede the in and outflowing of blood in the ventricular septum, which helps it form during fetal life. [3] [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_septal_defect

    Ventricular septal defect is usually symptomless at birth. It usually manifests a few weeks after birth. [citation needed] VSD is an acyanotic congenital heart defect, aka a left-to-right shunt, so there are no signs of cyanosis in the early stage. However, an uncorrected VSD can increase pulmonary resistance leading to the reversal of the ...

    cyanotic d-TGA + VSD neonate (unpalliated and pre-operative) Due to the low oxygen saturation of the blood, cyanosis will appear in peripheral areas: around the mouth and lips, fingertips, and toes; these areas are furthest from the heart, and since the circulated blood is not fully oxygenated to begin with, very little oxygen reaches the peripheral arteries.

    Infants born with AVSD are generally in sufficient health to not require immediate corrective surgery. If surgery is not required immediately after birth, the newborn will be closely monitored for the next several months, and the operation held-off until the first signs of lung distress or heart failure.

    Symptoms frequently present early in life, but it is possible for some CHDs to go undetected throughout life. [15] Some children have no signs while others may exhibit shortness of breath, cyanosis , fainting , [ 16 ] heart murmur , under-development of limbs and muscles, poor feeding or growth, or respiratory infections.

    Among babies, VSDs are actually the most common congenital defect overall, but 30 to 50% of VSDs can spontaneously close during childhood, which makes ventricular defects less common with adults. VSDs are associated with fetal alcohol syndrome and Down syndrome, and often are associated with other cardiac deformities as well.
