ABSTRACT
A 62-year-old male was admitted to our hospital complaining of coldness in both legs and discolorization in the right toes. On angiogram, obstruction of right external iliac artery and left common iliac artery was shown. The patient underwent extended extraanatomic arterial reconstruction due to poor general conditions. From right subclavian artery to right popliteal artery, artery bypass was done with 8 mm PTFE and 6 mm PTFE. Suprapubic crossover bypass was done with another 8 mm PTFE from 8 mm PTFE in right inguinal area that was anastomosed with right subclavian artery and left common femoral artery. The patient was discharged from hospital and OPD follow up was done. Right leg pain and discolorization of entire toes disappeared and were normalized. We report a case of extended extraanatomic arterial reconstruction: subclavian artery-popliteo-crossover-femoral-PEFE-bypass.

Congentally corrected transposition of the great vessels can best be defined as a malformation in which the aorta and pulmonary artery are transposed in relation to each other but in which the flow of blood is in the physiologic direction. And in addition to the malposition of great vessels, there is an inversion of the ventrice,. Unfortunately this basic malformation seldom exists withot complicating cardiovascular anomalies. We had experienced a case of congenitally corrected transposition of the great vessels associated with itral?insufficiency in 13year-old boy, who presented the most above mentioned findings. We have made diagnosis by cardiac catheterization and selective angiocardiographic study.
