of Great Arteries
Introduction
1. Definition
A cardiac anomaly with ventriculo-arterial discordant connection
(transposition of great arteries) & atrio-ventricular discordant
connection (right atrium connecting to left ventricle & left atrium
to the right ventricle).
The circulatory pathways are therefore in series.

Congenitally Corrected TGA
Pathophysiology
• Combined AV & ventriculo-arterial discordance
resulting in corrected transposition of systemic
and pulmonary circulations.
• There is high incidence of associated intracardiac
anomalies including VSD, pulmonary outflow
tract obstruction, tricuspid insufficiency, and AV
conduction anomalies.

Clinical features & diagnosis
1. Pathophysiology
* Determined by VSD & pulmonary stenosis ; usually mild symptom,
not severe pulmonary stenosis in infancy
* Most often, presentation is in childhood or in second decade ;
growth failure, exercise intolerance, cyanosis
* Left sided tricuspid valve incompetence seems to worsen with time
* Bradycardia, WPW syndrome
2. Physical findings
Not diagnostic
3. Additional investigations
1) Chest radiography : ascending aorta along left upper cardiac silhouette
2) EKG
3) Echocardiography
4) Cardiac catheterization & cineangiography
Congenitally Corrected TGA
Natural history
1. Incidence
0.5% - 1.4% of CHD, slightly male predominating
2. Heart block
1) Complete heart block
5 - 10% at birth, 10 - 15% in adolescence, 30% in adult
2) 1st or 2nd degree A-V block ; 40 - 50% at birth
3) 40% retain normal PR interval & QRS through their lives
3. Ventricular function
Not truly normal, but sufficiently good in most & tendency
to deteriorate after 2nd decade of life
4. Effect of coexisting cardiac anomalies
VSD, PS, left-sided A-V valve incompetence
Congenitally Corrected TGA
Operative Indications of cc-TGA
Conventional Repair
The presence of corrected TGA is not an
indication for a reparative operation.
1. Ventricular septal defect
* same as normal heart
2. VSD & important PS
* same as TOF
3. Left-sided tricuspid incompetence
* same as mitral incompetence
4. Complete heart block
Congenitally Corrected TGA
Operative techniques
1. Repair of ventricular septal defect
2. Repair of coexisting VSD & PS
* Extracardiac conduit
* Without extracardiac conduit
* One & a half ventricle repair
3. Correction of incompetent tricuspid valve
* Repair (annuloplasty)
* Replacement
4. Fontan-type repair
Straddling, A-V canal , & hypoplastic ventricle
5. Anatomic correction (double switch operation)

VSD closure, pulmonary valvotomy, and inparallel BCPC
Congenitally Corrected TGA
Double switch operation
• Bidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis and
hemi-Mustard modification for double switch procedure
Congenitally Corrected TGA
Double switch operation
• Senning plus arterial switch operation
Congenitally Corrected TGA
BCPC in anatomic correction
• It may benefit the small or poorly functioning
RV
• It importantly reduces complexcity of the atrial
baffle procedure
• It eliminates complications related to the
superior limb of the atrial baffle
• It reduces flow across an RV-pulmonary trunk
conduit
• It likely increases conduit longevity
Congenitally Corrected TGA
Anatomic correction
• The evidence is strong that right ventricle should not
remain in the systemic circulation as it does after a
conventional repair
• A combined arterial switch and Senning operation
( double switch operation ) is an option for patients
with cc-TGA with two ventricles of adequate size for
biventricular repair and a normal pulmonary valve
• The timing of surgery is difficult to choose because this
is a long and complex operation of Rastelli and atrial
switch procedure in patients with cc-TDA & VSD , &
PS or atresia

Results of conventional repair
1. Survival

* Time-related survival

Discordant Connection
Atrioventricular Discordant Connection
Introduction
• Definition
A congenital anomaly in which right atrium connects
to left ventricle (LV) and left atrium connects to right
ventricle (RV).
• History
Ruttenberg ; AV discordant with DORV in 1964
Brandt
; AV discordant with DOLV in 1966
Van Praagh ; Isolated ventricular inversion in 1966
Isolated atrial inversion in 1972
Brandt
; Surgery for AV discordant with DOLV
in 1966
AV Discordant Connection
Morphology
• Ventricular architecture
• Ventricular position & rotation
Positional anomalies ; superior-inferior
ventricles
Rotational anomalies ; criss-cross pathway
• Ventricular size
• Cardiac position
• Ventriculoarterial connection
• AV node & bundle of His
• Accessory conduction pathways
• Coronary arteries
• Atrioventricular valves
Isolated Atrial Inversion
Surgical morphology
Isolated Ventricular Inversion
Surgical morphology
• Isolated ventricular inversion (A), & anatomically
corrected malposition of the great arteries (B)
AV Discordant Connection
Clinical features & diagnosis
• Clinical features of AV discordant connection vary
widely, depending on ventriculo-arterial connection
and associated cardiac anomalies
• Congenitally corrected TGA
VSD, PS
• DORV and DOLV
VSD, PS
• Isolated ventricular or atrial inversion
Similar to TGA, PS add additional cyanosis
AV Discordant Connection
Natural history
• Most of the information concerning natural
history drawn from patients with corrected
TGA should be expected, & other morphologic
findings may affect natural history
• Patients with situs inversus are more likely to
have DORV and TOF physiology, but less likely
to have systemic AV valve regurgitation and
heart block then patients with situs solitus
AV Discordant Connection
Surgicai indications
The diagnosis of DORV, DOLV, and isolated ventricular
or atrial inversion in patients with AV discordant
connection are indications for operation, but each has
special considerations.

Isolated ventricular or atrial inversion
Placing epicardial pacemaker leads
Isolated A-V Discordance
Surgicai procedures
• VSD closure
The position of the conduction bundle location was
assumed to be akin to that in congenitally corrected
transposition of the great arteries in the anterosuperior
edge of the septal defect
• Senning Repair
Native interatrial septum sufficed for the intra-atrial
baffle utilized to separate the pulmonary veins from the
mitral valve in all four Senning repairs.
AV Discordant Connection
Results of surgical treatment
• Survival
Early death
Time-related survival
• Mode of death
• Incremental risk factors for death
AV discordant connection ; probably major
VA discordant connection ; probably not recently
• Postrepair heart block
• Other outcome events
Others as in cc-TGA ( TR, Block, Function, etc)

Anatomically Corrected Malposition
of Great Arteries
Anatomically Corrected Malposition
of Great Arteries
Introduction
• Definition
Anatomically corrected malposition is an anomaly in the position of the great
arteries and not in cardiac connections.
The aortic origin lies to the left and usually anterior to the pulmonary trunk
origin when there is situs solitus and the circulatory pathways remain in
series.
• History
Theveanin
; 1st report in 1985
Harris & Farber ; Termed anatomically corrected malposition
Raghib
; Described isolated bulbar inversion in corrected
transposition
Van Praagh
; Described in 1967 using the term of anatomically
corrected transposition of great arteries
Corrected Malposition of GAs
Morphology
• Structure of sinus portions of both ventricle is normal
• There are abnormalities of the outlet, or infundibulum,
in both ventricle.
• The LV probably always exhibits a subaortic conus
• The RV may also have an infundibulum, but it may be
less well developed and in some case is absent
• The aorta lies to the left and usually anterior to the
pulmonary trunk
Corrected Malposition of GAs
Associated anomalies
•
•
•
•
Commonly large VSD, usually conoventricular
Pulmonary stenosis is usual, often infundibular
Subaortic stenosis may occur
Tricuspid atresia or hypoplasia in half & RV
hypoplasia
Corrected Malposition of GAs
Clinical features & diagnosis
• Clinical features depend on associated
anomalies.
• Characteristic appearance of L-malposition in
chest radiograph
• The natural history is affected as typical for the
associated cardiac anomalies
Corrected Malposition of GAs
Technique of operation
Determined by associated cardiac anomalies, such as
Fontan operation in hypoplastic ventricle
VSD closure & PS relief when necessary
Indications for operation
Anatomically corrected malposition is not an indication
for operation. Coexisting cardiac anomalies may
present an indication for operation.
