[2 cases of transposition corrected in adulthood. The value of computed tomography and isotopic angiography and a review of the literature]. / Dos casos de transposición corregida en la edad adulta. Interés de la tomografía computadorizada y la angiografía isotópica y revisión de la literatura.

Corrected transposition of the great arteries is an unusual congenital heart defect, above all at ages over 40. Echocardiography and invasive angiography are still cornerstones for its diagnosis. However other non-invasive techniques, such radionuclide angiocardiography and computed tomography, not so used in this malformation, can help us in its detection. We present 2 cases of corrected transposition of the great arteries in adults in which these methods were used and review the literature.

[Percutaneous transluminal valvuloplasty in severe pulmonary stenosis in an aged patient. Presentation of a case]. / Valvuloplastia transluminal percutánea en la estenosis pulmonar severa del paciente anciano. Presentación de un caso.

We report a case of severe pulmonary stenosis in a 74 year old patient who was successfully treated by means of percutaneous transluminal valvuloplasty. This relatively simple technique is extensively used in children. However, its use is considered exceptional in old patients.
