Abstract
- The corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare congenital heart anomaly consisting of the discordant connections of both the atria to ventricles and the ventricles to the great arteries. But its circulation is physiologically corrected and therefore it is compatible with life unless there are associated lesions. Our case was associated with VSD, COA, and PDA. He was slightly cyanotic and irritable. Despite of oxygen supply, his symptoms were not improved and he eventually died in 52 hours after delivery. Medical record revealed severe respiratory and metabolic acidosis.
