CLINICAL CASE OF AN ISOLATED CORRECTED TRANSPOSITION OF THE GREAT ARTERIES
https://doi.org/10.15690/pf.v11i3.1019
Abstract
Corrected transposition of the great arteries (CTGA) is pathology of cardiovascular development rarely observed in therapeutic practice. This condition is difficult to diagnose due to the absence of both hemodynamic disorders and clinical manifestations in patients for a long time. Echocardiography is a method applied to perform timely diagnosis of this condition and develop an algorithm of dynamic observation and treatment.
