Abstract

Arterial switch surgery for d-transposition of great arteries is usually performed in the first 2 weeks of life before the left ventricle regresses. The arterial switch surgery that helps achieve anatomic and physiologic correction of this condition has better long-term outcomes than other surgical approaches. The procedure may still be attempted at an older age where the left ventricle has not regressed. We report a rare case of a 12-year-old child with d-transposition of great arteries, a remote muscular ventricular septal defect and isolated valvar pulmonic stenosis, which was corrected by an arterial switch surgery.
