Abstract
An infant is described with congenitally corrected transposition and Ebstei n's malformation. Banding of the pulmonary trunk had been previously perfor med because of a muscular ventricular septal defect. The patient underwent the double-switch procedure with the intention of unloading the morphologic ally right ventricle and the malformed tricuspid valve. This resulted in pr ompt postoperative functional and haemodynamic improvement.
