Abstract
The paper describes an autopsy case of congenital heart disease as a single ventricle with transposition of the great vessels in a woman who survived to the age of 58 years. Due to hemoconcentration that has compensated for chronic hypoxia, the woman received low-molecular-weight heparin, which was complicated by severe heparin-induced thrombocytopenia resulting in death from cerebral hemorrhage. The author is inclined to explain the unusual clinical course of the disease by the fact that despite the mixing of arterial and venous bloods, transposition of the great arteries in the patient must have been accompanied by the flow of the bulk of arterial blood into the aorta and venous blood into the pulmonary trunk.
