We describe the case of an 83-year-old asymptomatic man followed in our centre. Transoesophageal echocardiography disclosed congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries (CCTGA) with no associated anomalies and only mild aortic regurgitation. Cardiac MR confirmed the diagnosis and revealed preserved systemic ventricle systolic function with a normal perfusional pathway. This report is a demonstration that CCTGA without associated anomalies can reach older life in an asymptomatic condition. This is the oldest asymptomatic living patient with CCTGA ever described.
我们描述了一位83岁无症状男性在我们中心接受随访的病例。经食管超声心动图显示先天性矫正型大动脉转位(CCTGA),无相关异常,仅有轻度主动脉反流。心脏磁共振成像证实了诊断,并显示体循环心室收缩功能保留,灌注途径正常。本报告表明,无相关异常的CCTGA患者可在无症状的情况下活到高龄。这是有史以来所描述的年龄最大的无症状存活CCTGA患者。
