In patients with transposition, the order is from cava to left atrium and ventricle, then to the lungs and finally to the right side of the heart to be pumped out to systemic circulation. [2] The Mustard Procedure allows total correction of transposition of the great vessels.
Levo-Transposition of the great arteries (also known as Levo-TGA, congenitally corrected TGA, double discordance, or ventricular inversion) is a rare, acyanotic heart defect in which the primary arteries are transposed, with the aorta anterior and to the left of the pulmonary artery, and the morphological left and right ventricles with their ...
Levo-Transposition of the great arteries is an acyanotic congenital heart defect in which the primary arteries (the aorta and the pulmonary artery) are transposed, with the aorta anterior and to the left of the pulmonary artery; the morphological left and right ventricles with their corresponding atrioventricular valves are also transposed.
It is used to correct certain combinations of congenital heart defects (CHDs): dextro-Transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA), or overriding aorta, or double outlet right ventricle (DORV); and; Ventricular septal defect (VSD); and; Right ventricular outflow tract obstruction (RVOTO): [2] pulmonary atresia; or; pulmonary stenosis; or ...
The acute mortality associated with the Senning procedure is reported to be around 5-10%. Patient selection and the complexity of the congenital malformation are determinants of mortality risk. Patients who have undergone such surgical correction of the congenital transposition are exposed to long-term risks of cardiovascular events.
Arterial switch operation (ASO) or arterial switch, is an open heart surgical procedure used to correct dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA). [1] [2]Its development was pioneered by Canadian cardiac surgeon William Mustard and it was named for Brazilian cardiac surgeon Adib Jatene, who was the first to use it successfully.
In segmental analysis, this condition is described as ventriculoarterial discordance with atrioventricular concordance, or just ventriculoarterial discordance. d-TGA is often referred to simply as transposition of the great arteries (TGA); however, TGA is a more general term which may also refer to levo-transposition of the great arteries (l ...
Atrial septostomy is a surgical procedure in which a small hole is created between the upper two chambers of the heart, the atria.This procedure is primarily used to palliate dextro-Transposition of the great arteries or d-TGA (often imprecisely called transposition of the great arteries), a life-threatening cyanotic congenital heart defect seen in infants.
