Arterial switch operation remains the gold standard surgical therapy for D-transposition of the great vessels. Coronary anomalies may complicate the surgical strategy and lead to an increased morbidity and mortality. However, as of today, even challenging coronary anomalies should not be a contraindication for the performance of complete repair. Here, we describe a technique for the translocation of an intramural, high-origin conal branch in a 5-month-old patient with D-transposition of the great vessels and ventricular septal defect.
