We report on the rare case of prenatally detected Taussig-Bing anomaly complicated by a coarctation of the aorta and a singular coronary artery in an otherwise healthy boy. After initially successful arterial switch, a high-grade stenosis of the singular coronary artery leads to a severe biventricular heart failure 5 weeks after the procedure. Although immediate surgical intervention was carried out, the boy died due to already severely impaired myocardial function. This review discusses the perinatal management, typical diagnostic features, and frequent additional anomalies, as well as surgical strategies in complex Taussig-Bing anomaly.

D004310	Double Outlet Right Ventricle	Incomplete transposition of the great vessels in which both the AORTA and the PULMONARY ARTERY arise from the RIGHT VENTRICLE. The only outlet of the LEFT VENTRICLE is a large ventricular septal defect (VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECTS or VSD). The various subtypes are classified by the location of the septal defect, such as subaortic, subpulmonary, or noncommitted.

D006333	Heart Failure	A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.

D006344	Heart Septal Defects, Atrial	Developmental abnormalities in any portion of the ATRIAL SEPTUM resulting in abnormal communications between the two upper chambers of the heart. Classification of atrial septal defects is based on location of the communication and types of incomplete fusion of atrial septa with the ENDOCARDIAL CUSHIONS in the fetal heart. They include ostium primum, ostium secundum, sinus venosus, and coronary sinus defects.
