Abstract

We describe an infant with congenitally corrected transposition, ventricular septal defect and severe pulmonary stenosis. The heart occupied a midline position. Extension of ductal tissue had resulted in occlusion of the left pulmonary artery. As far as we are aware, this is the first report of an association of coarctation of the left pulmonary artery with corrected transposition.
