ABSTRACT
In this report we present the case of a patient with ventricular-arterial discordance in which a QAV was diagnosed by bidimensional echocardiogram with the purpose of expanding the anatomical spectrum of the anomalies associated with d-TGA and to manifest the clinical awareness of the consequence that the QAV has on the evolution of the patients that undergo to anatomic correction.
