N2 - 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.
