We report our experience with a five‐year‐old child with d‐transposition of great arteries (d‐TGA), ventricular septal defect (VSD), and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). A fenestrated unidirectional‐valved patch was used to close the VSD and a standard arterial witch operation (ASO) was performed. Difficulties in assessment of operability and the choice of procedures in such patients are briefly discussed . (J Card Surg 2011;26:234‐236)
