Thank you, Shashwat! Glad to help! :) Do you prefer the older video style (like this one) or the newer format with animations (like this: th-cam.com/video/2KDyO_nWeYA/w-d-xo.html )? Ever since I learned how to do animation, I sometimes think about redoing this video, but people seem to prefer the simplicity of the older ones 🤷♂!
You're welcome! And thank you for the kind words! 😀 If you were willing to share the diagnostic images (with patient consent, naturally) such as the prenatal Doppler Echo or a Cardiac MRI, I would be more than happy to cite you and welcome your input in a remake of this video.
That is a question I find hard to answer, for two reasons. Firstly; because CCTGA is somewhat rare, there are not many studies involving large amounts of patients, and some of those that exist are old and may be outdated. Secondly, because it varies so much between patients regarding severity, mostly the presence of associated defects. Hence you will find many different answers to that. Tracking Long-Term Outcomes of Children Who Undergo Complex Heart Surgery from Michigan Medicine ( www.michiganmedicine.org/health-lab/tracking-long-term-outcomes-children-who-undergo-complex-heart-surgery ), for example, claims "Survival was 85%, 82%, and 70% at one, 10, and 20 years after repair, respectively.". On Medscape, "Ten-year survival rate ranges from 64-83% from the time of diagnosis and is dependent on associated anomalies." On "Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries: Mid-term Outcomes of Different Surgical Strategies" (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8850704/), "The overall 10-year survival and freedom from reoperation rate was 86.7 and 82.4%, respectively.". On "The long-term outcomes of physiologic repair for ccTGA" (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25964161/), " Overall survival at 10 and 20 years were 95.5 and 90.2 %". As to life expectancy overall, if there ever was a study that evaluated it, I am currently oblivious to it.
Hello, Hanvika! I was travelling and wasn't able to reply earlier; I hope you've had your answer by now! In any case, I wouldn't feel confident interpreting any information without access to the full test results. You see, doctors may have different ways of describing findings around the world and it would be always wise to have a look at the images and read the full report in detail before drawing any conclusions 😐
One of the simplest and best explanations for a confusing topic.god bless you
