Abstract
A 2-year-old female child with "ameliorated" concordant criss-cross heart, complicated superior-inferior ventricles, complete transposition of great arteries, hypoplastic right ventricle, ventricular septal defect, and aortic coarctation is described. The patient underwent subclavian flap, pulmonary artery banding, and balloon atrioseptostomy at age 1 month. The ameliorated concordant criss-cross anatomy was obtained after 2 years of follow-up. This dynamic morphologic change allowed us to perform a subsequent anatomic correction.
