[2 cases of transposition corrected in adulthood. The value of computed tomography and isotopic angiography and a review of the literature].
Corrected transposition of the great arteries is an unusual congenital heart defect, above all at ages over 40. Echocardiography and invasive angiography are still cornerstones for its diagnosis. However other non-invasive techniques, such radionuclide angiocardiography and computed tomography, not so used in this malformation, can help us in its detection. We present 2 cases of corrected transposition of the great arteries in adults in which these methods were used and review the literature.
