    Abstract:
    A newborn baby with d-TGA, straddling AV valve, large VSD, hypoplastic ascending aorta and coarctation of the aorta had congestive heart failure and oliguria on the 3rd day after birth. Van Praagh's operation (main pulmonary artery to descending aorta bypassing with synthetic graft) was performed on 4 days of age through a lateral thoracotomy. At the age of 2 months, the patient underwent left pulmonary artery banding because of respiratory insufficiency requiring prolonged ventilatory support. The patient subsequently underwent Damus-Kaye-Stansel procedure without enlargement of the arch, and the pulmonary patch angioplasty with right modified BT shunt on the age of 5 months. This baby was discharged on 4 months after the operation. Two-dimensional echocardiography has shown aortic and pulmonary competence postoperatively.
