Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries

Illustration of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries

In congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, the pumping chambers (ventricles) and attached valves (mitral and tricuspid valve) are switched. As a result, the aorta and the pulmonary artery are connected to the wrong lower heart chamber (ventricle).
