Abstract

The coexistence of aortic coarctation, Ebstein's anomaly, and transposition of the great arteries is an extremely rare occurrence. In this case report, we present a unique instance of complex congenital heart disease in a neonate who exhibited respiratory distress and cyanosis at birth. Echocardiography revealed several significant findings: congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries, Ebstein's tricuspid anomaly, moderate-to-severe tricuspid regurgitation, a small muscular ventricular septal defect, and an abnormal left arch with severe coarctation of the aorta. Due to the patient's unstable hemodynamic status, balloon angioplasty was performed. Subsequent long-term clinical follow-up confirmed the efficacy of this intervention.
