We describe our experience of arterial switch operation (ASO) in the first hours of life in children with D-transposition of the great arteries (TGA) intact ventricular septum and restrictive patent foramen ovale (PFO) with severe metabolic disorders. The Rashkind procedure is the usual strategy to stabilize critically ill patient before surgery. We assume that primary ASO is also the safe option.
