Abstract
The arterial switch operation is the operation of choice in the treatment of transposition of the great arteries. Important is the anatomy
of the coronary arteries in the transposition of the great arteries. Various anatomical abnormalities of the coronary arteries can
complicate the arterial switch operation. The most significant intraoperative risk factors are associated with the intramural course of
the coronary arteries. However, in a number of cases, there is a single coronary artery, which is an extreme variant of the intramural
coronary artery. The clinical case described in this article demonstrates successful arterial switch operation for transposition of the
great arteries with the removal of coronary arteries by a single entrance in the early neonatal period, using the technique of dividing
a single common entrance.
