Overview
Levo-transposition of the great arteries can be subclassified into simple or complex based on if it is associated with other cardiac defects or not.
Subclassification of TGA
Complex l-TGA- When l-TGA is accompanied by other heart defects it is called complex levo-transposition of the great arteries. The most common type being intracardiac shunts such as atrial septal defect including patent foramen ovale, ventricular septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus. Stenosis of valves such as pulmonary stenosis or atresia may also be present. Tricuspid regurgitation may be present as well.
Simple- When no other heart defects are present it is called 'simple' l-TGA
