Royal Children's Hospital, Parkville, Melbourne, Australia.

A case of total thoracic ectopia cordis with double-outlet right ventricle and ventricular septal defect is presented. Prenatal diagnosis allowed single-stage correction immediately after birth. This approach proved to be technically feasible. Death occurred on the twelfth postoperative day owing to sepsis unrelated to the repair.
