title: Double-switch operation for congenitally corrected transposition and Ebstein's malformation.
abstract: An infant is described with congenitally corrected transposition and Ebstein's malformation. Banding of the pulmonary trunk had been previously performed because of a muscular ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent the double-switch procedure with the intention of unloading the morphologically right ventricle and the malformed tricuspid valve. This resulted in prompt postoperative functional and haemodynamic improvement.
