A Rare Case of Congenitally Corrected Transposition of Great Arteries (CCTGA)
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare congenital heart defect associated with multiple cardiac morphological abnormalities and conduction defects. Data from the BaltimoreWashington Infant showed 40 infants per 1,00,000 live births are affected by CCTGA(1); this is less than 1% of all congenital heart defects. The literature reports fewer than 1000 cases, however, the true prevalence of the malformation is not known. We report a case of a 37 year old female diagnosed with CCTGA.
