Anesthesia for Transposition of the Great Arteries

Le résumé fourni par la source

Transposition of the great arteries (TGA) refers to a spectrum of conditions of discordant ventriculoarterial (VA) connections, which is divided into two key types: dextro-looped (d-TGA) and levo-looped (l-TGA or ccTGA). Advances in perioperative and surgical care in the past two decades have spectacularly improved outcomes for individuals born with these lesions, particularly in D-TGA, a previously universally lethal condition, where children now go on to lead near-normal lives. Early diagnosis, treatment, and interprofessional planning are vital in reducing long-term morbidity. Through detailed knowledge of pathophysiology, aims of treatment, surgical procedures, and knowledge of postoperative consequences, the cardiac anesthesiologist plays a critical role in delivering consistent outcomes and safe perioperative care.
