Overview

ACC/AHA recommends patients with dextro-Transposition of the Great Arteries to have antibiotics prophylaxis to prevent endocarditis in certain conditions.

ACC/AHA 2008 Guidelines for the Management of Adults With Congenital Heart Disease (DO NOT EDIT)[1][2]

ACC/AHA 2008 Guidelines for the Management of Adults With Congenital Heart Disease (DO NOT EDIT)^[1]^[2]

Endocarditis Prophylaxis (DO NOT EDIT)^[1]^[2]

Class III
“1. Prophylaxis against IE is not recommended for nondental procedures (such as esophagogastroduodenoscopy or colonoscopy) in the absence of active infection. (Level of Evidence: C)”

Class IIa
“1. Antibiotic prophylaxis before dental procedures that involve manipulation of gingival tissue or the periapical region of teeth or perforation of the oral mucosa is reasonable in those with the following indications:
a. Prosthetic cardiac valve.(Level of Evidence: B)
b. Previous infective endocarditis (IE). (Level of Evidence: B)
c. Unrepaired and palliated cyanotic CHD, including surgically constructed palliative shunts and conduits. (Level of Evidence: B)
d. Completely repaired CHD with prosthetic materials, whether placed by surgery or by catheter intervention, during the first 6 months after the procedure. (Level of Evidence: B)
e. Repaired CHD with residual defects at the site or adjacent to the site of a prosthetic patch or prosthetic device that inhibit endothelialization. (Level of Evidence: B)”
“2. It is reasonable to consider antibiotic prophylaxis against IE before vaginal delivery at the time of membrane rupture in select patients with the highest risk of adverse outcomes. This includes patients with the following indications:
a. Prosthetic cardiac valve or prosthetic material used for cardiac valve repair. (Level of Evidence: C)
b. Unrepaired and palliated cyanotic CHD, including surgically constructed palliative shunts and conduits. (Level of Evidence: C)”
