A case report of late physiologic repair of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and pulmonary stenosis in a severely cyanotic patient: better late than never.

Background: Patients with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries (ccTGA) not infrequently seek medical attention for the first time late in life. Optimal management of natural history ccTGA is debated and must be tailored.

Case Summary: A 38-year-old male patient was referred to our centre because of severe cyanosis and worsening dyspnoea.

Long-term follow-up after recanalisation of aortic arch atresia.

Aims: Aortic arch atresia (AAA) is one of the rarest obstructive defects. The presence of this anomaly in adult age is uncommon. The typical anatomic feature consists of a complete occlusion of the membranous obstruction resulting in an acquired atresia without flow continuity between the proximal and distal segments.
