Aortic dislocation

The meaning of complete aortic dislocation is the misplacement of two aorta. The aorta receives systemic venous blood from the right ventricle, and the pulmonary artery receives oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins of the left ventricle, thus forming two isolated circulatory systems, the right atrium. → right ventricle → aorta → whole body → body vein → right atrium is one circulation; left atrium → left ventricle → pulmonary artery → lung → pulmonary vein → left atrium is another circulatory system. The ventricular position is normal and the aortic opening is on the right side of the pulmonary artery. D-TGA is a common clinical type, often accompanied by atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, open ductus arteriosus, pulmonary artery stenosis, and atrioventricular tube deformity.
