Successful neonatal double switch in symptomatic patients with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
Anatomic repair is the standard surgical approach to congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries. However, timing to perform the procedure remains controversial. We present 2 cases of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and Ebstein's-like anomaly of the tricuspid valve presenting with heart failure. Both cases had successful anatomic repair during the neonatal period.
