Electrocardiographic-gated multislice computed tomography for visualization of cardiac morphology in congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.

چکیده
A case of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries in a 64-old-woman is presented. Diagnosis was missed by invasive angiocardiography. Electrocardiographic-gated multislice computed tomography not only demonstrated switching of the aortic root and pulmonary trunk but clearly identified fine morphologic details of the cardiac chambers, including the atypical coronary artery pattern.

A Case of Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries Discovered on Coronary Computed Tomography
Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare condition accounting for less than 1% of all congenital cardiac diseases. The fundamental nature of this condition involves a blend of atrioventricular as well as ventriculoarterial discordance. Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is classically associated with three additional abnormalities, including v...
متن کاملCongenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries in an 80 year old woman.
Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare form of congenital heart disease characterised by atrioventricular as well as ventriculoarterial discordance. It is usually associated with a variety of severe intracardiac defects. Few patients with this abnormality survive past 50 years. An 80 year old woman was admitted to the hospital because of mild congestive hea...

A 76-year-old woman with no cardiac history was admitted to our hospital for knee joint surgery. The ECG showed negative T wave in leads I, aVL, V3-V6. Transthoracic echocardiography showed diffuse mild hypokinesis and prominent trabeculations of the left side ventricle (Picture 1). Mild aortic regurgitation and mild left atrioventricular regurgitation were also observed. Contrast-enhanced thre...
متن کامل[Cardiac resynchronization in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries].
Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare heart defect that can be associated with systemic ventricular dysfunction and conduction disturbances. The use of cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients with congenital heart disease is not fully established. The authors report a case of cardiac resynchronization therapy in a 31-year-old woman with a history of congenit...

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an acknowledged treatment for advanced heart failure in acquired dilated cardiomyopathy, resistant to pharmacotherapy. Although there are no therapeutic standards regarding heart failure originating from congenital heart defects with systemic right ventricle, a number of CRT implantations by transvenous approach in congenitally corrected transposition ...
