[Entry into pulmonary artery in complete transposition of the great arteries (author's transl)]. 1978

G Schumacher, and E Tacke, and R Mocellin, and R Schreiber, and K Bühlmeyer

In 91 children with complete transposition of the great arteries investigated by heart catheterization since 1974 the pulmonary artery was probed at the first investigation in 46% and at the second preoperative investigation in 85%. Considering only the last 2 years the pulmonary artery was entered in 93% during the second catheterization. When an additional catheterization was necessary the pulmonary artery was always entered. This was mostly achieved by a flow-directed balloon-catheter preformed before introduction into the vein by alternating application of hot and cold water or in the left atrium by use of a guide wire.

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.
