  • wow this is intense

  • sitowardi, this is not impossible. There is a form of TGA called L-TGA, also known as "congenitally corrected transposition." It's complicated but basically the ventricles are switched. Blue blood goes to the lungs via the left ventricle and red blood goes to the body via the right ventricle. Not a problem until the RV tires out, which usually occurs sometime in adulthood. 333niknak, good luck to you.

  • 33niknak, that is impossible. A baby cannot live with Transposition of Great Arteries unless treated and surgery is performed within the first few weeks of life.

  • Some how my docs miss that, living 32 with TOGA, serviced in Military for nearly 10 and now i'm getting a pacemaker

  • when I was 10 days old I was at the same operation. Finally I see, what doctors did with my heart.

  • isn't the heart beating too fast?

  • Doctor, What are your thoughts on using Ibuprofen, successfully practiced in Europe, to treating PDA as apposed to Surgery ?
