Corrected transposition of the great arteries diagnosed in an 84-year-old woman

Corrected transposition of the great arteries without associated cardiac an omalies is a rare cardiac malformation. Few patients with this anomaly surv ive beyond 50 years of age because of systemic ventricular dysfunction or d evelopment of AV valvular regurgitation or conduction disturbance. We descr ibe an autopsied, uncomplicated corrected transposition of the great arteri es case in which the patient died at 84 years of age. We believe this patie nt to be the longest surviving corrected transposition of the great arterie s associated person in the world.
