What you will learn

Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great arteries is one of the most confusing defects. In this section, we provide a systematic approach for assessing ccTGA. We explain what "valve offset" means and how you can determine what is "left and right" and which valve is which. Several case examples highlight the spectrum of the disease and which lesions might be associated with ccTGA.

Topics:

  • Description of ccTGA
  • Epidemiology of ccTGA
  • ccTGA and the right ventricle / hemodynamics
  • Echocardiographic imaging of ccTGA
  • Natural history and late complications
  • Role of other imaging modalities in ccTGA
