Abstract

A 28-year-old female patient with complete transposition, ventricular septal defect and persistence of the arterial duct underwent a palliative arterial switch procedure in 1976 at 7 years of age. Therefore, she has survived for 22 years and lives a near normal life. She is married, has been counselled against pregnancy and has increasing cyanosis with the typical features of the Eisenmenger syndrome.
