ABSTRACT

Transposition of the great arteries refers to a condition where the position of the aorta and the pulmonary artery is reversed. Transposition of the great arteries after Mustard correction; transesophageal echo, transversal view. Long-term follow-up after intra-atrial repair for complete transposition shows that postoperative morphological and hemodynamic abnormalities exist in many patients. The risk of infectious endocarditis is high, especially in patients with valvular dysfunction and if foreign material has been used during the operation. Transposition of the great arteries after Rastelli correction; transthoracic echo, pulsed Doppler flow in the left ventricular outflow tract shows laminar flow without obstruction from the left ventricle through original ventricular septal defeat redirected to aorta. The operation consists of dividing the aorta and pulmonary artery above the valvular level, connecting the aorta to the left ventricle, and the pulmonary artery to the right ventricle.
