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.
