Transposition of the Great Arteries, Diagnosis, Case managementAbstract
The transposition of the great arteries, characterized by exchange of the respective ventricles of origin between the aorta and pulmonary artery trunk, is responsible for approximately 5.7% of critical congenital heart diseases, with a high mortality rate in cases of late diagnosis and treatment. The objective of this study is to report a case of this heart disease, diagnosed by fetal echocardiography in the 27th week of gestation, to emphasize the importance of prenatal diagnosis for early management and reduction of the mortality rate of individuals with this heart disease.
