Delayed primary arterial switch for a rare and unusual variant of transposition of great arteries with posterior aorta
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 02 December 2024
Abstract
Though initially described in 1971 by Van Praagh, transposition of great arteries with posterior aorta is rarely reported in last two decades. Since the arrangement of great arteries appears like normally related great arteries, a careful echocardiographic evaluation is necessary in patients with clinical features of transposition of great arteries. In majority of cases with this anatomy, arterial switch operation can be performed without the need of Le Compte manoeuvre.
