Dextro transposition of great arteries (D-TGA) – Cardiology MCQ – Answer

Dextro transposition of great arteries (D-TGA) – MCQ Answer

In dextro transposition of great arteries (D-TGA), there is: Correct answer: 1. Atrioventricular concordance and ventriculoarterial discordance

In D-TGA, atria and ventricles are in the normal position, but aorta and pulmonary artery arise from opposite ventricles. So there is atrioventricular concordance and ventriculoarterial discordance.

Dual discordance occurs in C-TGA (corrected transposition of great arteries), also known as L-TGA. Here dual discordance in connection between the atria and ventricles cause systemic venous return to reach the pulmonary arteries and pulmonary venous return to reach the aorta.
