Dextro Transposition of The Great Arteries D Tga in India
Dextro-Transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) is a birth defect of the heart in which the two main arteries carrying blood out of the heart, the main pulmonary artery and the aorta are switched in position, or transposed.
For the dextro-transposition of the great vessels, medications such as prostaglandin(alprostadil) help keep the connection between the aorta and pulmonary artery open (ductus arteriosus), increasing blood flow and improving the mixing of oxygen-poor and oxygen-rich blood until surgery can be performed.
The right doctor to consult for the Dextro-Transposition of the great vessels is a Cardiac Surgeon.
