World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg. 2022 Nov;13(6):800-802. doi: 10.1177/21501351221098135. Epub 2022 May 23.

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.
