[Anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries (author's transl)]. 1975

Anatomically corrected malposition of the great arteries is defined as a trunco-conal malformation characterized by an aorta arising anteriorly from a morphologically left ventricle and by the presence of a subaortic muscular conus. This malalignment determines a conotruncal-ventricular discordance: d-loop and l-position or l-loop and d-position of the aorta. Two additional cases of this very rate lesion are reported, both associated with left juxtaposition of the atrial appendages, tricuspid atresia, ventricular malrotation and destrocardia in situs solitus with d-loop. Because of the high frequency of this association, observed also in the majority of the previously published cases, its morphogenetic significance and implications are discussed.

D003914 Dextrocardia A congenital defect in which the heart is located on the right side of the THORAX instead of on the left side (levocardia, the normal position). When dextrocardia is accompanied with inverted HEART ATRIA, a right-sided STOMACH, and a left-sided LIVER, the combination is called dextrocardia with SITUS INVERSUS. Dextrocardia may adversely affect other thoracic organs. Dextrocardias
D005260 Female Females
D006352 Heart Ventricles The lower right and left chambers of the heart. The right ventricle pumps venous BLOOD into the LUNGS and the left ventricle pumps oxygenated blood into the systemic arterial circulation.

D014188 Transposition of Great Vessels A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the AORTA arises entirely from the RIGHT VENTRICLE, and the PULMONARY ARTERY arises from the LEFT VENTRICLE. Consequently, the pulmonary and the systemic circulations are parallel and not sequential, so that the venous return from the peripheral circulation is re-circulated by the right ventricle via aorta to the systemic circulation without being oxygenated in the lungs. This is a potentially lethal form of heart disease in newborns and infants.
