Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare form of congenital heart diseases, present with or without associated anomalies. It is a complex congenital heart disease with both atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance. Such patients tend to develop systemic ventricular dysfuction with the stress of surgery. Patients with CCTGA are usually diagnosed at early stages of life due to associated anomalies, but they may even remain asymptomatic till later decades of their life. Literature search revealed very few reported cases of anaesthetic management of such high risk cases for non cardiac surgery. These patients have the tendency to develop cardiac dysrhythmias and left ventricular failure during intraoperative and postoperative period. We report anaesthetic management of a case of a 24 years old male with the congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries(CCTGA) who was operated for fracture left distal radius and ulna and right sided galeazzi fracture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
