Complete correction of transposition of the great arteries with left juxtaposition of the atrial appendages.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Juxtaposition of the atrial appendages is an uncommon anomaly which is usually associated with transposition of the great arteries. Experience with five patients with transposition of the great arteries in combination with juxtaposition of the atrial appendages in whom Mustard's operation was performed is reviewed. Technically, the existence of juxtaposition of the atrial appendages in corrective surgery for transposition does not present any additional surgical problems. Emphasis is placed on the advantages of early complete correction, avoiding the need for palliative procedure.

[Juxtaposition of the atrial appendages].
Six cases of juxtaposition of the atrial appendages are documented by necropsied specimens and analyzed. A high incidence of conotruncal anomalies, especially transposition of the great arteries, further A-V valve abnormalities, and pulmonary valve atresia, is found. The recognition of juxtaposition of the atrial appendages during cardiac catheterization should alert the investigator to the pre...
متن کاملJuxtaposition of atrial appendages associated with normally oriented ventricles and great arteries.
A case is reported of a stillborn infant in whom both atrial appendages lay to one side of the great arteries, so-called juxtaposition of the atrial appendages. The unusual features of the case reported are twofold. First, both atrial appendages lay to the right of the great vessels while, more commonly, juxtaposed atrial appendages lie to the left of the aorta and pulmonary trunk. Second, in o...
متن کاملA 33-day-old Infant with the Transposition of the Great Arteries; A Rare Case Report
Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) is the one most common cyanotic congenital heart disease in neonates. The discordant ventriculoarterial arrangement results in parallel circulation, it so is vital to understand the management. We report a rare interesting but critical case of 33-day-old boy who developed cyanosis and had transposition of great arteries combined with interrupte...
متن کاملAn evaluation of right and left ventricular function after anatomical correction and intra-atrial repair operations for complete transposition of the great arteries.
Anatomical correction of complete transposition of the great arteries has the potential advantage over intra-atrial repair in that the left ventricle becomes the systemic pump. To investigate the importance of this, we evaluated right and left ventricular function in 21 patients after anatomical correction and in 21 patients after Mustard or Senning operations. First-pass and equilibrium-gated ...
متن کاملLeft juxtaposition of the auricles with l-position of the aorta. Report of 6 cases.
Six hearts are described in which juxtaposition of the auricles to the left of the great arteries (left juxtaposition) was associated with l-postion of the aorta. Atrial anatomy was abnormal but constant; the os of the right auricle occupied the expected site of the atrial septum, producing posterior and inferior desplacement of this structure. This is of importance since the os could be mistak...
