We report the case of an infant with anatomically corrected malposition of
the great arteries in solitus [S, L, D], associated with ventricular septal
defect, patent ductus arteriosus, and right juxtaposition of the atrial
appendages. The aortic pole was posterior to the tricuspid mitral line and
the conus was bilateral. Successful surgical repair was undertaken by the
Senning procedure with closure of ventricular septal defect and division of
the ductus. Postoperative cardiac angiography demonstrated no hemodynamic
obstruction or residual shunt.
