Abstract
The contemporaneous presentation of transposition of the great arteries and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is rare and complicates optimal surgical timing. We present a newborn with transposition and severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with a postnatal course complicated by persistent pulmonary hypertension who was supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation until successful arterial switch operation on the day of life 8.
