Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries

Treatment of Children

All diagnosis and treatment options described in these pages are available in Rochester.

Pediatric specialists at Mayo Clinic Rochester have extensive experience treating children who have transpostion of the great arteries. Patients' care is coordinated through a team of specialists from the Center for Congenital Heart Disease. Children needing hospitalization are cared for at Mayo Eugenio Litta Children's Hospital in Rochester.

Follow-up treatment

All patients with ventricular inversion and transposition of the great arteries, including those with no significant associated heart abnormalities, require regular follow-up by a pediatric or adult cardiologist thoroughly familiar with congenital heart disease. The risk of developing complete heart block and the uncertain long-term stability of the tricuspid valve make follow-up care extremely important.
