Key result
A newborn with transposition of the great arteries and severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was successfully supported with ECMO until an arterial switch operation on day of life 8.
Why the study?
The contemporaneous presentation of transposition of the great arteries and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is rare and complicates optimal surgical timing.

ECMO can successfully support newborns with transposition of the great arteries, severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and persistent pulmonary hypertension as a bridge to arterial switch operation.
The contemporaneous presentation of transposition of the great arteries and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is rare and complicates optimal surgical timing. We present a newborn with transposition and severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with a postnatal course complicated by persistent pulmonary hypertension who was supported with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation until successful arterial switch operation on the day of life 8.
