AB  - Key  PointsTransposition  of  the  great  arteries  is  a  relatively  rare  congenital  cardiac  malformation  that  has  potential  to  cause  major  morbidity  and  mortality  in  the  neonatal  period.Complete  TGA  results  in  separation  of  the  systemic  and  pulmonary  circulations,  because  of  ventriculoarterial  discordance,  and  leads  to  severe  hypoxia  in  the  early  neonatal  period.Corrected  TGA  has  both  atrioventricular  and  ventriculoarterial  discordance,  so  that  effectively  pulmonary  and  systemic  circulations  are  normal,  thereby  rarely  resulting  in  pediatric  morbidity.Prenatal  diagnosis  of  complete  TGA  is  achieved  by  noting  a  parallel  path  of  the  ventricular  outflow  tracts,  with  lack  of  the  normal  crossover  of  these  vessels.Prenatal  recognition  of  complete  TGA  is  critical,  as  immediate  pediatric  cardiology  intervention  in  the  early  neonatal  period  will  be  required.The  surgical  treatment  of  choice  for  complete  TGA  has  changed  from  the  atrial  switch  to  the  arterial  switch  procedure,  and  is  associated  with  excellent  long-term  survival.
