Demonstrates the feasibility of an atrial switch operation with technical modifications in a rare late-presenting adult with unpalliated d-TGA and complex anatomy.
A 26-year-old patient with d-transposition of great arteries (d-TGA), bilateral superior vena cava, and juxtaposed atrial appendages underwent a successful atrial switch operation. It is extremely uncommon to encounter a previously unpalliated patient with d-TGA at this age. Unusual morphologic features in this patient necessitated technical modifications to successfully accomplish an atrial switch procedure.

Talwar et al. (2015) conducted a case report in d-transposition of great arteries (d-TGA), bilateral superior vena cava, and juxtaposed atrial appendages (n=1). Atrial switch operation was evaluated on Procedural success. An atrial switch operation was successfully performed using technical modifications in a 26-year-old unpalliated patient with d-TGA and unusual morphologic features.
