Dextro-transposition of the great arteries is a rare congenital heart disease affecting 3 in 10,000 births, with ventricular septal defect occurring in 50% of patients.
Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) is a rare, cyanotic congenital heart disease that affects 3 in 10,000 births.1 It accounts for approximately 5% of all congenital heart disease and is the second most common cyanotic heart disease, comprising 20% of cases. The most commonly associated lesion is ventricular septal defect (VSD), which occurs in 50% of patients. Other associated lesions are coronary variations, left ventricular (LV) outflow tract obstruction, coarctation, pulmonary outflow tract obstruction, and mitral and tricuspid valve abnormalities.

Conrad et al. (2024) conducted a review in Dextro-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA). Multimodality imaging was evaluated. Dextro-transposition of the great arteries is a rare congenital heart disease affecting 3 in 10,000 births, with ventricular septal defect occurring in 50% of patients.
