Transposition with ventricular septal defect and left
ventricular outflow tract obstruction
Transposition, not otherwise specified
Double outlet right ventricle, transposition-type

“The Clinical nomenclature” is derived from the International Congenital Heart Surgery Nomenclature and Database Project of The European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery and The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

The “Administrative nomenclature” is derived from the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes.

§

For the clinical nomenclature, hearts with discordant ventriculo-arterial connections, pulmonary atresia, and ventricular septal defect are grouped with Transposition of the great arteries, not with Tetralogy of Fallot.
