Abstract

Successful surgical repair during childhood of complete transposition of the great arteries has resulted in a group of patients in adult life with complicated cardiac anatomy and physiology. It is imperative that cardiologists providing care for these patients have an understanding of the surgical procedures involved in redirecting the systemic and pulmonary venous returns at either the atrial level or great artery level. Echocardiography provides an excellent means for assessing newly created anatomical abnormalities; residual associated congenital heart defects; and ventricular function.
