Coarctation Balloon Angioplasty in a Rare Case with Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries and Ebstein's Anomaly

Abstract

The concurrent presence of coarctation of the aorta, Ebstein's anomaly, and transposition of the great arteries is extremely rare. We report a unique case of complex congenital heart disease presenting with respiratory distress and cyanosis at birth. Echocardiography revealed congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA), Ebstein's tricuspid anomaly, moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR), a small muscular ventricular septal defect (VSD) and an abnormal left arch with severe coarctation of the aorta (CoA). Because of unstable hemodynamic status, balloon angioplasty was performed for the patient. Long-term clinical follow-up confirmed the effectiveness of this intervention.
