Transposition of great arteries with constrictive ductus arteriosus revisited.
A case is presented of neonatal death despite prompt management of a baby diagnosed at 30 h of age with d-transposition of great arteries and intact ventricular septum, restrictive foramen ovale, and constrictive ductus arteriosus. The literature in this matter is reviewed and the poor prognosis of such cases despite rapid intervention is again emphasized.
