We report a 26‐year‐old patient with d‐transposition of great arteries, intact ventricular septum, and an atrial septal defect. The relevant literature on late natural survivors with this condition is reviewed and the technical aspects of an alternative technique for accomplishing a successful atrial switch in this situation are discussed .
