Overview
ACC/AHA guidelines recommend antibiotic prophylaxsis to prevent infective endocarditis in certain groups of patients with levo-transposition of the great arteries
(ACC/AHA) recommendations for evaluation and follow-up of patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) [1](DONOT EDIT)

Class I 1. All patients with CCTGA should have a regular follow-up with a cardiologist who has expertise in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). (Level of Evidence: C) 2. Echocardiography-Doppler study and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) should be performed yearly or at least every other year by staff trained in imaging complex congenital heart disease (CHD). (Level of Evidence: C) 3. The following diagnostic evaluations are recommended for patients with CCTGA:
Interventional Therapy Recommendations for Catheter Interventions Class IIa 1. For patients with unrepaired CCTGA, cardiac catheterization can be effective to assess the following:
