Abstract

We present a case of a 69 year-old woman complaining of palpitations and worsening heart failure, after the 2nd cycle of fludarabine due to Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Echocardiography revealed abnormalities typical for corrected transposition of the great arteries (CTGA), which were confirmed in multislice computed tomography (MSCT), as well as subvalvular pulmonary stenosis. There is the case of one of the oldest patients with CTGA and subvalvular pulmonary stenosis. MSCT seems to be a useful and complementary method in diagnosis such diseases.
