Abstract

Abstract : The association of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) and anomalous pulmonary venous connection is extremely rare. Children with transposition of the great arteries improved dramatically with the advent of the atrial repair. In this report, we describe a 40-day old male infant with TGA and associated anomalous pulmonary venous connection who presented with the history of cyanosis and hurried breathing. This patient underwent successful balloon atrial septostomy and discharged with uneventful recovery.
