Anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries (S,L,D)
Chest
|January 1, 1976
Summary
This study reports the first antemortem clinical diagnosis of a rare cardiac anomaly: anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries (S, L, D type). This condition mimics complete d-transposition physiologically.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Cardiology
- Congenital Heart Disease
- Cardiac Anatomy
Background:
- Anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries (S, L, D type) is an exceptionally rare congenital heart defect.
- The (S, L, D) notation defines the segmental arrangement: situs solitus of viscera and atria (S), ventricular l-loop (L), and d-malposition of the great arteries (D).
