Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries: A Unique Case from Iraq

Abstract

A severely cyanotic 27-month-old Iraqi child was transferred to the United States for surgical treatment of suspected tetralogy of Fallot. Her diagnostic studies showed dextrocardia, congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, hypoplastic left-sided ventricle, interrupted inferior vena cava, and severe pulmonic stenosis. Given the anatomic constraints as well as the absence of long-term medical care, the decision was made to pursue single-ventricle palliation. The patient recovered from a superior cavopulmonary anastomosis without event and has since returned to her native Iraq.
