Question

Transposition of the great vessels (TGV) is rare but typically results in the pulmonary trunk and aorta developing in transposed positions. In other words, the aorta drains the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk drains the left ventricle. If everything else is normal about the heart, what problem(s) would be associated with the transposition of the aorta and pulmonary trunk? Select all that apply. ► View Available Hint(s) O All blood would remain deoxygenated. o Deoxygenated blood would be sent back out to the tissues of the body without getting oxygen. O Deoxygenated blood from the right ventricle would travel to the lungs. O The right side of the heart would transport oxygenated blood, whereas the left side would transport deoxygenated blood. Oxygenated blood from the left ventricle would be sent back to the lungs instead of out to the other tissues of the body. Oxygenated blood would travel from the right ventricle out through the aorta.
