Background: Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare complex cardiac anomaly
with a unique anatomical lesion such that despite certain anatomical aberrations there could be physiologically
normal circulation without any admixture. They could also be anatomical lesions and various clinical evolutions.
Surgical intervention has continued to change and updated.
Methods: A search for published works on ccTGA was made using Google and Pub Med as well as searching
through the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, institute for Scientific Information (ISI) “Web of Science,”
and Medline. The areas of focus were historical facts, patho-anatomy and patho-physiological correlates of ccTGA,
management options and challenges in management in Nigeria.
