Congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries is a rare anomaly which are responsible for 0.5% of all CHDs and can be associated with other congenital cardiac abnormalities. Association of congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries and isolated atrial septal defect is a very rare condition, and management of this association is challenging. In this paper, we describe three patients with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries and isolated atrial septal defect who were admitted to our clinic and all of them underwent percutaneous closure of defect. From 2017 to 2020, we visited three patients with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries and isolated atrial septal defect. Our patients’ ages ranged from 28 to 38 years. All of them underwent percutaneous atrial septal defect device closure without any complications. Patients were discharged from hospital in good condition with a daily dose of Aspirin 80 mg and Plavix 75 mg. For all of them, follow-up echocardiography was performed the day after the procedure at 1, 3, and 6 months later and showed the function of the right-sided left ventricle improvement and the severity of the mitral regurgitation was reduced. Furthermore, clinical evaluation also indicated functional class improvement. Although the cases of percutaneous transcatheter closure are few and cannot be regarded as strong evidence to recommend this procedure, the outcomes are promising and can demonstrate that this approach is practical.

“…In other rare cases, CCH may be presented with L-transposition of the great arteries (L-TGA), where there is disharmony between the atrioventricular alignments and atrioventricular situs. [6,7] Due to the rare incidence of this life-threatening condition and the wide anatomical variations, misdiagnosis often occur, leading to poor outcomes, especially in the discordant variant where surgical interventions are often required. [4] The purpose of this systematic review is to provide a summary and critical evaluation of the existing literature on the nature of this defect and to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis using different diagnostic techniques to perform the optimal surgical interventions for managing complex heart defects and subsequently reducing the related morbidity and mortality.…”

Background and objectives The crisscross heart (CCH) is a rare congenital cardiac abnormality defined by the crossing of the inflow streams of the two ventricles due to the heart's apparent twisting about its long axis. Despite being considered a defect, the CCH is more of a spatial than a functional aberration, so the heart can still work normally. The severity of this anomaly is determined by the difficulty of knowing the obscurity of the etiology, the lack of early diagnosis, and the exacerbation of its symptoms. The choice of optimal surgical interventions for managing complex heart defects leads to a marked reduction in morbidity and mortality incidence. We conducted this study to provide a summary and critical evaluation of the existing evidence knowledge on the nature of this defect and to emphasize the importance of early diagnosis. Methods We searched PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and Embase databases in addition to cross-checking against the bibliographies of retrieved articles to identify additional reports until September 15th,2022. Results Our inclusion criteria are met by 46 case reports, which include 101 patients of both sexes ≥1 month of age, published from 1974 to 2021. CCH was diagnosed in 45 (44.6%) females and 56 (55.4%) males with a median age of 66 months [interquartile range (IQR): 12-216 months] who came from 19 countries worldwide. The common clinical features manifested with dyspnea in 17 (16.8%), cyanosis in 39 (38.6%), and tachycardia in 12 (11.9%) patients. The most common associated congenital heart diseases were ventricular septal defect in 85 (84.3%) patients, double outlet right ventricle in 52 (51.5%) patients, and pulmonary stenosis in 62 (61.4%) patients. The Surgical intervention took place in 65.4% of the patients. A two-ventricle repair may not be possible in most patients, and these patients are prepared for a Fontan-type surgery. Conclusion Understanding this complex congenital heart disease allows clinicians to provide their patients with the best care and prompt intervention. Further investigation of the histopathology pictures and genetic sequences is needed to determine a clear pathogenesis.

“…Cuando esta patología se asocia a anomalía de Ebstein, se acompaña de hipoplasia del VD, con grados variables de desplazamiento y cabalgamiento de la tricúspide hacia el VD 7 . En nuestros pacientes nos llamó la atención: tres casos de anomalía de Ebstein y otros tres con cardiopatías asociadas poco frecuentes (dos con canal AV y otro en criss-cross, aunque ya descritos con anterioridad) 8,19,20 .…”
