A 23-year-old female of Taussig-Bing heart with antero-posterior relation of the great arteries was underwent Patrick-McGoon's intraventricular rerouting at 6 years old of age. The left ventricular outflow obstruction (peak pressure gradient of 100 mmHg) developed, and severe aortic valve regurgitation following bacterial endocarditis was noted. The conversion to Rastelli's type operation and aortic valve replacement were performed successfully at 23 years old of age. She is doing well without any significant left or right ventricular outflow obstruction at 7 years postoperatively.
