A Senning plus Rastelli operation was performed in a patient who had a rare combination of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (S,L,L) with dextrocardia, major aortopulmonary collaterals, and diminutive central pulmonary arteries with arborization defects. The patient required four preparatory operations including bilateral unifocalizations of the aortopulmonary artery collaterals. Pulmonary artery to systemic pressure ratio after the double switch operation was 0.6. The patient demonstrates good biventricular function on echocardiogram at 3 months after the operation.
