Abstract

We report a case with prenatal diagnosis of transposition of great arteries (TGA) with L-posed aorta (SDL-TGA) which was confirmed by postnatal echocardiography. The anatomic findings were confirmed during the successful arterial switch operation (ASO). The technical challenges of ASO in the L-posed aorta are also described.

Keywords: Arterial switch operation; L posed aorta; Prenatal; TGA; transposition of great arteries.
