[HSF] Help re TGA with complex cor anatomy

[Nasser F. Abou'Seada]

Dear Bob 
I haven't much to add. however, to my mind this particular case is for a
prompt action rather for opinions. I'd suggest contacting Mark de Laval at
Harley street clinic -should be still there- or  Martin Elliott at the GOS.
their contact numbers are at the CTSnet. Bill Brawn is a well known master
of the Art ... yet I can only speak for whom I've worked with. Nothing can
be judged without haemodynamic studies and having the full anatomical and
physiological diagnosis clear. will send you a private email. 
best of luck
