Levo-transposition of the great arteries is a congenital heart disease characterized by atrioventricular and ventricular-arterial discordance. Aortic valve disease in levo-transposition of the great arteries patients is uncommon. We present a patient with levo-transposition of the great arteries and severe aortic stenosis who successfully underwent transcatheter aortic valve replacement and the diagnostic and procedural challenges involved.

Article Synopsis
- * This study discusses a case where a leadless pacemaker was successfully implanted in a patient on VAD support, addressing safety concerns and showing no complications during a year of follow-up.
- * The findings suggest that combining a leadless pacemaker with a VAD could be a viable treatment option for complex cases of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD), although careful monitoring is essential.

Brain abscesses are localized infections in the brain's parenchyma, characterized by inflammation, pus formation, and the development of a surrounding capsule. These lesions typically occur due to underlying factors such as immunosuppression, ear and sinus infections, and contamination during neurosurgery. While brain abscesses are a life-threatening complication of cyanotic heart defects, they are rarely reported, with only sporadic cases previously documented.

Background: Congenitally corrected levo-transposition of the great arteries (L-TGA) is a congenital heart disease in which the ventricles and great arteries are transposed from their typical anatomy. In L-TGA, the double discordance, atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial, create an acyanotic milieu which allows patients to survive their early decades, however, progressive systemic right ventricle (sRV) dysfunction creates complications later in life. sRV dysfunction and remodeling predisposes patients to intracardiac thrombus (ICT) formation.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to compare the long-term outcomes of 2 different tricuspid surgeries including valvuloplasty and replacement for significant tricuspid regurgitation in patients with systemic right ventricle.
Method: This is a retrospective study of 34 patients with dextro-transposition of the great arteries or levo-transposition of the great arteries with biventricular circulation and systemic right ventricle undergoing tricuspid valve surgery between April 1979 and April 2022. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the procedure: tricuspid valvuloplasty (n = 11) and tricuspid valve replacement (n = 23).
Transcatheter systemic atrioventricular valve-in-valve implantation in a congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries patient.

We present an asymptomatic pregnant patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and severe atrioventricular bioprosthesis regurgitation - with increased maternal and fetal risk due to volume overload. She was considered high risk for reintervention and was submitted to an off-label post-partum transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation with a Sapiens 3 valve. The procedure was successful, and she remains asymptomatic 30 months after - and even went through another successful pregnancy.
