title: Late diagnosis of isolated congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries in a 92-year old woman.
abstract: We report the case of a 92-year old woman with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA). The case is remarkable as the CCTGA had remained undiagnosed until the diagnosis was made when the patient was aged 70 years, and had 10 pregnancies without heart failure.
