Article Synopsis
- Complete transposition of the great arteries (C-TGA) is a congenital heart defect where the main arteries are switched, making early detection and management essential for successful outcomes.
- Imaging techniques, including fetal echocardiography, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), and cardiac computed tomography (CCT), are crucial for diagnosing, planning treatment, and monitoring C-TGA patients over time.
- A combined use of TTE, CMR, and CCT can significantly improve the accuracy of assessments, inform surgical and treatment decisions, and enhance long-term care and outcomes for those affected by this condition.

Background: Right heart catheterization (RHC) usually is performed via the femoral vein or the internal jugular vein. However, the antecubital fossa vein is a valid venous access, and it has become increasingly popular to perform right heart catheterization utilizing this access.
Methods: A retrospective, observational study was conducted to describe use of the antecubital fossa vein for right heart catheterization in adults and children with congenital heart disease (CHD).
