Most patients with congenital heart disease are diagnosed shortly after birth; however, some patients are overlooked and diagnosed in adulthood. We present the case of a man in whom congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) was first diagnosed at the age of 88 years. CCTGA is a rare disease; patients without frequently associated cardiac anomalies are considered to have long life expectancies; however, their prognosis remains unclear. This case is the oldest patient at the time of CCTGA diagnosis in the literature, which may provide new insights for CCTGA without frequently associated cardiac anomalies.
大多数先天性心脏病患者在出生后不久就被诊断出来;然而,一些患者被忽视,直到成年才被诊断出来。我们报告一例88岁男性首次被诊断为先天性矫正型大动脉转位(CCTGA)的病例。CCTGA是一种罕见疾病;没有常见相关心脏异常的患者被认为预期寿命较长;然而,他们的预后仍不明确。该病例是文献中CCTGA诊断时年龄最大的患者,这可能为无常见相关心脏异常的CCTGA提供新的见解。
