Comments: This series of images illustrate the anatomic and diagnostic features of Transposition of the Great Arteries with Intact Ventricular Septum.  Using specimens from different collections,  various therapeutic maneuvers are demonstrated with their corresponding IPCCC terms. 

 

 

 

 

 

Modality: Anatomic specimen

Orientation: Anterior view

Description: This view shows the aorta (A) anterior to the pulmonary trunk (PT) in this heart with transposition of the great arteries. There is a pulmonary artery band in place. There are concordant atrioventricular connections, the morphologically right atrium (RA) connected to the morphologically right ventricle (RV) in the usual fashion with the tricuspid valve (TV) guarding the inlet. The ventriculoarterial connections are discordant, the aorta within the outlet component of the right ventricle. The right coronary artery (RCA) has an aberrant origin and extends anterior to the aorta to the right atrioventricular groove.

Description: Right ventricular angiogram of a newborn with transposition of the great arteries. The aorta arises from the right ventricle.

Modality: Anatomic specimen

Orientation: Anterior view

Description: A close up view of the heart shown in the left panel with the anterior portion of the aortic valve (AV) opened to demonstrate the discordant atrioventricular connections consistent with transposition of the great arteries. The aorta is anterior to the pulmonary trunk with a pulmonary artery (PA) band in place. The right coronary orifice (RCO) is adjacent to a commissure. Note the muscular infundibulum separating the aortic valve from the tricuspid valve (TV). (RA-right atrium).

Modality: Fluoroscopy of balloon septostomy

Orientation: Anterior-posterior view

Description: In a newborn with transposition of the great arteries a Rashkind maneuver is performed to increase the interatrial communication. A Rashkind  balloon catheter is inflated with 1 to 3 ml of a 50% dye-saline mixture in the left atrium and rapidly withdrawn into the right atrium hereby tearing the interatrial septum.

Modality: Anatomic specimen

Orientation: Left ventricular view

Description: The left ventricle of the heart shown above demonstrates the concordant atrioventricular connections with the mitral valve (MV) guarding the inlet to the morphologically left ventricle (LV) and the discordant ventriculoarterial connections with the pulmonary trunk (PT) forming the outlet portion of the morphologically left ventricle. Note the muscular infundibulum (red dots) separating the mitral valve from the pulmonary valve (Pav). Within the ventricular septum, there is an artifactual defect.
