Open image in new window Fig. 16 Contrast enhanced axial CT images in a patient with transposition of great vessels demonstrates the characteristic appearance post-arterial switch.
In a recent study, knockout NRP-1 mutant mice died at embryo stage E13 from impaired neural vascularization, transposition of large vessels, and weak vascular network development in the yolk sac.
*Excludes seven babies (three in structured care group and four in usual care group) born with major congenital anomalies, such as tetralogy of Fallot, brainstem glioma, and transposition of great vessels, that would have affected Apgar scores, resuscitation, level of care, and length of stay.
Logistic regression analysis adjusting for maternal age, plurality, and population density.*Estimates not given for the following rare outcomes: spinal bifida (n = 14) microcephalus (n = 9); endocardial cushion defects (n = 7); transposition of great vessels (n = 12); choanal atresia (n = 2); dysplasia of lung (n = 9); congenital cystic kidney (n = 24).
To replicate results from previous studies (Vrijheid et al. 2011), we also considered eight subgroups of cardiac anomalies: transposition of great vessels (Q203), ventricular septal defect (Q210), atrial septal defect (Q211), atrioventricular defect (Q212), tetralogy of Fallot (Q213), tricuspid atresia and stenosis (Q224), pulmonary valve stenosis (Q221), and coarctation of aorta (Q251).
According to the European Surveillance of Congenital Anomalies (EUROCAT) data, 64%% of BD could be diagnosed before birth although it varies widely, from 94%% for anencephaly to 87%% for omphalocele, and as low as 27%% for the transposition of great vessels [ 5].
Neurovascular contact (NVC) is considered a frequent cause of classical trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and transposition of a blood vessel in the potentially dangerous procedure of microvascular decompression is considered over other surgical options in medically refractory TN.
The aim of this study is to review our clinical experience with endovascular treatment of aortic arch aneurysms after surgical transposition of supra-aortic vessels.
Complete transposition of both great vessels was noted, with the aorta exiting from the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk exiting from the left ventricle.
There were three congenital anomalies among the 28 births (renal agenesis, transposition of the great vessels and ventricular septal defect), a prevalence of 1071.4 per 10 000 live births.
