Journal of the American Heart Association, 2017•Am Heart AssocCongenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare cardiac
malformation characterized by the combination of discordant atrioventricular and
ventriculoarterial connections. 1 The incidence has been reported to be around 1/33 000
live births, accounting for 0.05% of congenital heart malformations. 2 Although a familial
recurrence of heart defects in subjects with ccTGA has been reported, 3 the etiology of this
malformation is not currently known. 1, 4 The morphological right atrium is connected to the …

The morphological right atrium is connected to the morphological left ventricle across the mitral valve, with the left ventricle then connected to the pulmonary trunk; the morphological left atrium is connected to the morphological right ventricle across the tricuspid valve, with the morphological right ventricle connected to the aorta. Because of this “double discordance,” the systemic venous return is pumped
