Abstract

We present a case of palliative arterial switch with aortic arch reconstruction performed as the first stage of anatomical correction in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries (ccTGA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), duct-dependent aortic coartation, and hypoplasia of the ascending aorta and subaortic tract.
