Acute myocardial infarction in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and complex coronary anatomy-a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is a rare congenital heart anomaly with atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance that is often associated with other cardiac and coronary artery anomalies. Here, we report a case of a patient with ccTGA and non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) with challenging coronary anatomy that was treated with stress-perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (spCMR) guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Case summary

A 46-year-old male smoker with ccTGA, dyslipidaemia, diabetes Type 2 managed with dietary restrictions and a family history of premature myocardial infarction, presented with typical chest pain, elevated cardiac troponin levels and ECG-changes indicative of ischa
