Anaesthetic management of a patient with complex, cyanotic congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries for electrophysiological study and thermoablation
Abstract
Congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare congenital heart disease, and little literature is available that describes its anaesthetic management. We present the perioperative management of a patient with complex, cyanotic ccTGA who underwent electrophysiological study with catheter ablation under general anaesthesia. Good understanding of the patient’s complex cardiac anatomy and physiology and multidisciplinary communication are vital to facilitate the successful care of the patient.
