Abstract

We describe the management of a 2 month-old male (BSA 0.27 m2) with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA), left and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction, incomplete atrioventricular (AV) canal defect, Ebsteinoid left AV valve, and multiple VSDs. In short, the patient presented with respiratory failure, metabolic acidosis with worsening AV valve regurgitation, and acute decompensation from pulmonary overcirculation. We performed a complex double switch operation described below. Despite the unique anatomical complexities, the patient's successful course demonstrates the importance of multidisciplinary discourse, preoperative imaging and planning, and intraoperative decision making from patient selection to anatomic repair.
