Stenosis of valves or vessels may also be present. When no other heart defects are present it is called 'simple' d-TGA; when other defects are present it is called 'complex' d-TGA. [en.wikipedia.org]

If the anomaly is complicated by right ventricular or tricuspid valve dysfunction, patients can present with exertional dyspnea and easy fatigability. [radiopaedia.org]

If no obstructive lesions are present and there is a large VSD, cyanosis may go undetected and only be perceived during episodes of crying or agitation. In these cases, signs of congestive heart failure prevail. [orpha.net]

Consequently, more adult CHD patients are presenting for elective, noncardiac surgery. [oatext.com]

• Pericardial Effusion

  Factors that may indicate a poor prognosis include age at presentation greater than 45 years, NYHA functional class III or IV, failure to improve to a lower NYHA functional class during treatment, pericardial effusion, large right atrial size, elevated [textbookofcardiology.org]

However, many cases of simple l-TGA are "accidentally" diagnosed in adulthood, during diagnosis or treatment of other conditions. [en.wikipedia.org]

Primary brain abscess treatment is to reduce the mass effect and eliminate germs. Management of brain abscess therapy can be divided into surgical and conservative treatment. [kink.onesearch.id]

Broadly speaking, prognosis in congenital heart lesions can be grouped into those lesions with a good outcome (normal or near normal prognosis), those with an intermediate outcome (residual haemodynamic abnormalities and therefore a more guarded prognosis [academic.oup.com]

Prognosis With the advent of newer and improved surgical techniques and improved post-operative intensive care, the long-term survival is approximately 90% at 15 years of age. [orpha.net]

Treatment [ edit ] Simple l-TGA has a very good prognosis, with many individuals being asymptomatic and not requiring surgical correction. [en.wikipedia.org]

Treatment and prognosis Early surgical treatment was aimed only at repairing the associated anomalies (i.e. VSD, pulmonary stenosis or atresia and tricuspid valve abnormalities). [radiopaedia.org]

Etiology The exact etiology remains unknown. Some associated risk factors (gestational diabetes mellitus, maternal exposure to rodenticides and herbicides, and maternal use of antiepileptic drugs) have been proposed. [orpha.net]

Etiology The etiology for transposition of the great arteries is unknown and is presumed to be multifactorial. [emedicine.com]

Furthermore, it adds support to the concept that progressive stenosis of a bicuspid aortic valve is frequently the etiology of isolated aortic stenosis in adults. [profiles.stanford.edu]

The exact etiology of these episodes is unclear, although there have been a number of proposed mechanisms, including increased infundibular contractility, peripheral vasodilatation, hyperventilation, and stimulation of right ventricular mechanoreceptors [textbookofcardiology.org]
