Description
Summary:	Reports on surgical repair of cases with L-malposition of the great arteries with situs solitus atrialis and concordant atrioventricular connection are uncommon. A review of the anatomical characteristics of these cases has shown several peculiarities that may have considerable important in planning operation. Among them we emphasize the morphology of the ventricular septal defects, possible outflow tract obstructions and coronary artery course, anomalies of the atrioventricular valves and the course of the conduction system. Each of these aspects is reviewed from a surgical viewpoint in the light of our combined previous surgical and anatomical experience and of a review of previous reports by other authors.
