We describe the case of a 27-year-old Caucasian woman with corrected transposition of the great vessels, who presented with cardiac failure.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
[…] with corrected transposition of the great vessels (CTGV) were studied; the first, group A, included 17 patients with CTGV in "situs solitus,", characterized by leftward orientation of the cardiac apex; the second group, group B, with three patients, presented[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present a case of a 21-year-old female with congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels and episodes of supraventricular tachycardia.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Two consistent observations were made: 1) In no case was the specialized A-V conduction system found in the right atrium, whether or not there was a coronary sinus ostium present. 2) Specialized A-V conduction system electrograms were never delineated[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Anteroposterior thoracic roentgenograms may suggest the diagnosis, particularly when a narrow waist is present at the base of the heart, accompanied by the absence of a pulmonary-artery "knob" and the presence of an enlarged left atrium.[pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Postnatal diagnosis is based on clinical suspicion of cyanoticcongenitalheartdisease and is confirmed with echocardiography (Echo). Electrocardiography (ECG) is typically normal.[pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]
However, if there are any other associated defects present such as pulmonary stenosis, then your child may have a heartmurmur. The sound of extra blood being pushed towards the lungs and leaking through the valve can be heard as a heartmurmur.[chfed.org.uk]
It might not be diagnosed until well into adulthood when congestive heart failure, heartmurmurs and abnormal heart rhythms can develop.[heart.org]
Treatment In most cases, a heartmurmur leads to further investigation. Diagnosis is by echocardiography. Usually, treatment involves heart catheterisation to open the narrow valve with a balloon.[evelinalondon.nhs.uk]
Some babies born with CCTGA have heartmurmurs, heart rhythm problems, and/or show signs of heart failure. If they also have a ventricular septal defect (VSD) they may also be cyanotic (blue). In these cases a diagnosis is usually made in infancy.[achaheart.org]
Even in the presence of a ventricular septal defect, a heartmurmur is often absent in the first days or weeks of life.[cincinnatichildrens.org]

See Workup for more detail. Management Medical care There is little evidence that established medical treatment options for left ventricle dysfunction (ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, nitrates) produce similar outcomes for systemic right ventricles.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Congenitally-corrected transposition of the great vessels (CTGV) may be detected de novo in adulthood and the plain radiographic findings may be ambiguous or they may be mimicked by a mediastinalmass.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Since the patient had presented periods of third-degreeatrioventricularblock and was highly pacing-dependent during follow-up ICD consultations prior to hospitalization, and we wished to use the minimum amount of intravascular prosthetic material, a[elsevier.pt]
Electrocardiographic features that should suggest corrected transposition are atrioventricular block (particularly 2:1 or complete heart block), abnormal Pwaves, absent or low R voltage in aVR, an initial Q wave in leads 3, aVR, aVF and V 1, absence[pediatrics.aappublications.org]

The treatment for advanced AV block is to have a pacemaker implanted, which stimulates the heart, allowing it to beat fast enough. Symptoms of advanced AV block include: Lightheadedness Fainting Profound fatigue.[nationwidechildrens.org]
Surgical treatment of corrected transposition has been difficult because of complete atrioventricular block before or after operation, residual incompetence when deformed left atrioventricular valves were present, and the mirror-image arrangement for[pediatrics.aappublications.org]
Treatment Diagnosis and treatment for babies is based on clinical findings (such as weak pulses in the legs) and echocardiography. Typically treatment is surgery, but occasionally heart catheterisation may be the treatment of choice.[evelinalondon.nhs.uk]
Introduction: Improved medical and surgical treatment strategies led to a tremendous increase of the incidence of end-stage heart failure which has almost tripled during the past years.[thieme-connect.com]
CONCLUSIONS: The long-term prognosis of the double-switch operation for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries was acceptable.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis Left untreated, this disease is fatal within the first weeks of life. Prevention Because there is no identifiable cause, there is no way to prevent this condition. Resources Books Alexander, R. W., R. C. Schlant, and V. Fuster, editors.[medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]
Treatment [ edit ] Simple l-TGA has a very good prognosis, with many individuals being asymptomatic and not requiring surgical correction.[en.wikipedia.org]
The absence of associated anomalies portends a good overall prognosis, and diagnosis is delayed until later in life in these patients.[consultant360.com]
Prognosis Patient prognosis depends on AV conduction, arrhythmias, structural abnormalities, and degree of hemodynamic disturbance. [5] Sudden death may be related to the onset of complete heart block or atrial or ventricular arrhythmias.[emedicine.medscape.com]
