Abstract

We present a case of anatomic repair of dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) with ventricular septal defect (VSD) in a 55-year-old man who presented with acute heart failure. This case highlights the importance of multimodal imaging and multidisciplinary involvement in developing a comprehensive surgical and medical plan for adults with congenital heart disease. We think this is the oldest reported patient undergoing anatomic surgical repair of d-TGA with VSD.
