Congenital: Transposition of the great arteries is a congenital heart defect, meaning that it is an abnormality of cardiac development and is fully present at birth. Classic, or d-tga refers to a disease where the aorta arises from the rv and the pulmonary artery arises from the lv. Diagnosis is typically made early. Successful correction is possible by surgery in the first few days of life.
