| Abstract: | Even though preoperative diagnostics have improved significantly, intraoperative surprises may still occur especially in the case of complex congenital heart disease. An instance of such a complex congenital heart disease is a hypoplastic left heart syndrome with a right-sided aortic arch. In this case report, we present 1 patient with such a complex and unexpected anatomy, as well as a possible way to overcome the obstacles. |
