MeSH Heading: Transposition of Great Vessels
Tree Number(s): C14.240.400.915; C14.280.400.915; C16.131.240.400.915
Unique ID: D014188
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D014188
Scope Note: A congenital cardiovascular malformation in which the AORTA arises entirely from the RIGHT VENTRICLE, and the PULMONARY ARTERY arises from the LEFT VENTRICLE. Consequently, the pulmonary and the systemic circulations are parallel and not sequential, so that the venous return from the peripheral circulation is re-circulated by the right ventricle via aorta to the systemic circulation without being oxygenated in the lungs. This is a potentially lethal form of heart disease in newborns and infants.
Entry Term(s): Dextro-Looped Transposition of the Great Arteries; Transposition of Great Arteries
