  • Title: [Corrected transposition of the great arteries in patients over 65].
    Author: Attie F, Rijlaarsdam M, Zabal C, Buendía A, Vargas-Barrón J.
    Journal: Arch Inst Cardiol Mex; 1995; 65(1):57-64. PubMed ID: 7639597.
    Abstract:
    Three cases with corrected transposition of the great arteries in patients older than 65 years are described. Two had atrial situs solitus and one atrial situs inversus. One had pulmonary valvular stenosis with valvular calcification and a small ventricular septal defect in association with ischemic heart disease. This patient died due to cardiac failure at the age of 80 years. The second case was associated with ventricular septal defect, atrial septal defect and pulmonary hypertension. The third patient presented with mild tricuspid regurgitation. Although this congenital heart malformation is theoretically compatible with normal life, few patients have long survival because of associated congenital defects or the subsequent development of tricuspid regurgitation or atrioventricular block.
