Key result
Successful obstetric and anesthetic management of three parturients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries was achieved through careful consideration of cardiac function.
Case Report (n=3)
Anesthetic management of parturients with CCTGA requires careful consideration of systemic ventricular function, heart rhythm, and associated cardiac lesions to ensure successful outcomes.
Case reports support tailored peripartum care in CCTGA; leaves open larger studies before practice change.
In Brief Women with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) have a propensity for congestive heart failure and cardiac dysrhythmias during pregnancy, labor, and delivery. We report the successful obstetric and anesthetic management of three women with CCTGA, review the pertinent medical literature, and discuss important issues surrounding the anesthetic management of parturients with CCTGA. IMPLICATIONS: Obstetric anesthesia management of parturients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries involves careful consideration of systemic ventricular function, heart rhythm, and associated cardiac lesions.

Arendt et al. (2008) conducted a case report in Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) in pregnancy (n=3). Obstetric and anesthetic management was evaluated on Successful obstetric and anesthetic management. Successful obstetric and anesthetic management of three parturients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries was achieved through careful consideration of cardiac function.
