Contemporary imaging following atrial redirection surgery for transposition of the great arteries.
A young man attended the adult congenital heart disease clinic for routine follow-up. He had a diagnosis of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and underwent a Senning procedure at 10 months of age. He had remained well over the intervening years, was fully saturated, with a normal exercise tolerance, no cardiovascular symptoms and no history of arrhythmia or symptoms suggesting thromboembolic events. Transthoracic echocardiogram is shown in figure 1A and cardiac MRI image in figure 1B.
