Corrected transposition of the great arteries with previously unreported cardiac anomalies

Cardiovasc J Afr. 2012 Jun 12;23(5):e5-7. doi: 10.5830/CVJA-2011-049.

Abstract

The corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare congenital cardiac anomaly characterised by atrio-ventricular and ventriculo-arterial discordance and is related to the largest incidence of cardiological complications. We report on a 40-year-old woman with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, situs inversus, atrial septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, right arcus aorta and coronary artery anomalies.
