Autopsy of an infant who died with multiple congenital anomalies reveals a malformed heart. The aorta arises from a morphologic right ventricle located on the right side of the heart. The pulmonary
artery overrides a ventricular septal defect. Which of the following terms best describes this
infant's heart?
A. "Common pattern" of transposition of the great arteries
B. "Corrected pattern" of transposition of the great arteries
C. Taussig-Bing malformation
D. Tetralogy of Fallot
E. Truncus arteriosus

The correct answer is C. The heart has a Taussig-Bing malformation, which is considered to be a
variant of transposition of the great arteries because the aorta arises from the morphologic right
ventricle.In the "common pattern" of transposition (choice A), the aorta arises from a morphologic right ventricle on the right side of the heart, and the pulmonary artery arises from a morphologic
left ventricle on the left side of the heart.
In the "corrected pattern" of transposition (choice B), the aorta arises from a morphologic
right ventricle on the left side of the heart, and the pulmonary artery arises from a
morphologic left ventricle on the right side of the heart.
