Echocardiography. 2008 Jan;25(1):91-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1540-8175.2007.00554.x.

Abstract

We present a rare case of D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) and double aortic arch (DAA). The anatomy was prospectively and preoperatively diagnosed by echocardiography and confirmed by ultra-fast computed tomography. The patient underwent successful arterial switch operation and division of the vascular ring at a single procedure.
