  • Title: An unusual case of tricuspid lesion in congenital corrected transposition of the great arteries.

    Journal: J Cardiovasc Med (Hagerstown); 2007 Apr; 8(4):281-3. PubMed ID: 17413306.
    Abstract:
    An unusual case of severe supravalvular stenosing ring of the left atrium associated with tricuspid valve dysplasia in an adult symptomatic patient affected by congenitally corrected transposition and unrestrictive ventricular septal defect is reported. The stenosis of the systemic atrioventricular valve possibly prevented the development of obstructive pulmonary vascular disease; removal of the membrane, attached to the tricuspid annulus, together with pulmonary banding was carried out. Clinical conditions improved after surgery. The unusual stenotic lesion of the systemic right ventricular inflow allowed conservative surgical palliation in this adult patient.
