Abstract
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.
