Background and aim of the study: Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (cc-TGA) is a rare type of congenital heart disease and heart-lung transplant (HLTx) is the potential solution if the patient developed severe biventricular failure.. Aim of the study is to present a challenging case of cc-TGA with dextrocardia managed by HLTx. Methods: A 53-year-old male patient was presented to our institution with biventricular failure. The echocardiogram revealed cc-TGA, dextrocardia with situs solitus, atrioventricular discordance and ventriculoatrial discordance, severe systemic and sub-pulmonary atrioventricular valves regurgitation, and severe pulmonary hypertension. He underwent heart-lung transplant. Results: The patient was discharged on postoperative day 25 on room air with normal left ventricular ejection fraction. Conclusion: This case highlights the complexity of preoperative and intraoperative management of cc-TGA, and demonstrates the challenges which the surgeons and anesthesiologists may face during the procedure of HLTx.
