Transposition of great arteries with aortopulmonary window: an unusual cause of prepared left ventricle at 11 months

Indian Heart J. 2005 Jul-Aug;57(4):353-4.

Abstract

In patients with transposition of great arteries, presence of aortopulmonary window is very uncommon and associated with high morbidity and mortality. This report describes the case of an 11-month-old female patient in which aortopulmonary window was restrictive, and protected the patient from developing pulmonary vascular disease. The patient underwent successful arterial switch and repair of aortopulmonary window.
