Abstract

Congentally corrected transposition of the great vessels can best be defined as a malformation in which the aorta and pulmonary artery are transposed in relation to each other but in which the flow of blood is in the physiologic direction. And in addition to the malposition of great vessels, there is an inversion of the ventrice,. Unfortunately this basic malformation seldom exists withot complicating cardiovascular anomalies. We had experienced a case of congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels associated with itral?insufficiency in 13year-old boy, who presented the most above mentioned findings. We have made diagnosis by cardiac catheterization and selective angiocardiographic study.
