Summary
Congenitally corrected transposition with atrioventricular septal defect presents unique diagnostic challenges. Echocardiography and angiocardiography effectively identified cardiac anatomy and conduction system variations in four pediatric cases.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Cardiology
- Congenital Heart Disease
- Cardiac Electrophysiology
Background:
- Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a complex congenital heart defect.
- Atrioventricular septal defects (AVSD) can occur in association with ccTGA, further complicating cardiac anatomy.
- Accurate diagnosis and understanding of the conduction system are crucial for patient management.
