  • Abstract
    We describe the case of a 51-year-old female with previously undiagnosed congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) who was admitted to the hospital due to the exacerbated symptoms of heart failure for planned coronary angiography. Patient cardiac functional status appeared to have gradually regressed to New York Heart Association class III at the time of the admission. The chart reviews were performed. Coronary angiography did not reveal the occlusion of the coronary artery. Radiography, echocardiography, and multislice computed tomography confirmed newly diagnosed ccTGA.
