The simple transposition of the great arteries is a lethal congenital heart disease. The life expectancy of unoperated patients is about 9 months. We report the original observation of a girl with unoperated simple transposition of the great arteries, who survived until the age of 11. years. An atrial switch was successfully performed according to the technique of Senning-Mustard. © 2012.
