I have decided to add this page after receiving a few emails from indivuals on Transposition most saying that they have a friend or relative whom are adults and doing fine with thier Transposition, and some whom have mentioned that their child was not diagnoised Until 6 months to 1 year.
In addition to D-Transposition , Jacob had dextracardia, L-Looped ventricals double-outlet right ventrical, pulmonary atresia,large ventrical septal defect, unrestricted ASD, and patent ductus arteriosius.
The type of survival depends a great deal on the type of Transposition , in addition to other factors for example health,physicians,other defects, and so forth. No Individual is the same and treatments may vary.
Transposition is a very serious form of heart disease, In which the two main valves to the heart are switched and a surgery is usually performed at Birth for the child to survive.
Some forms of Transposition might include L-Transposition of the Great Vessels ,orD-Transposition of the Great Vessels.
In L Transposition , it may not show signs until adulthood, In D Transposition,or complete, the infant begins to show signs within the first 48 hours usually.
Below are some links to learn more about Transposition of the Great Vessels.
