Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare congenital heart defect with heterogenous clinical manifestations that can pose both diagnostic and management challenges throughout life.
We describe four patients with ccTGA and different presentations including sudden cardiac arrest, progressive heart failure, post-partum heart failure, and NSTEMI.
This case series aims to illustrate the importance of multimodality imaging to assist the diagnosis and support treatment strategies in patients with ccTGA. Direct long-term sequalae, such as arrythmias and heart failure, and the associated management challenges are highlighted. Additionally, the challenges of managing pregnancy with a sRV and the development of acquired heart disease demonstrate the clinical care challenges in caring for this population across the life span.
先天性矫正型大动脉转位(ccTGA)是一种罕见的先天性心脏缺陷,临床表现多样,在患者一生中都会给诊断和治疗带来挑战。
我们描述了4例ccTGA患者,其表现各不相同,包括心脏骤停、进行性心力衰竭、产后心力衰竭和非ST段抬高型心肌梗死。
本病例系列旨在说明多模态成像在辅助ccTGA患者诊断及支持治疗策略方面的重要性。强调了诸如心律失常和心力衰竭等直接的长期后遗症以及相关的治疗挑战。此外,单心室妊娠管理的挑战和获得性心脏病的发展表明了在该人群全生命周期护理中面临的临床挑战。
