Core Tip

Core Tip: Corrected transposition of the great arteries (cTGA) is a rare disorder that accounts for only less than 1% of all congenital heart diseases. Cases with no associated cardiac anomalies are even rarer, accounting for only 5% of all cTGA cases. We reported a case of cTGA that was detected on the occasion of acute heart failure following elective caesarean section carried out on a patient with post-caesarean pregnancy. Close examination should be performed on the premise of congenital cardiac malformation when symptoms of heart failure are noted during perinatal control.
