The aorta (A) and pulmonary artery (P) overlie the right and left ventricles, respectively. The red rod above (A, short arrow) is present in a widely patent ductus arteriosus; the rod below (A, long arrow) is in a small ventricular septal defect. A back view (B) shows a third red rod in an atrial septal defect.

History: Two day-old infant with cyanosis.

Comment: Transposition of the aorta and pulmonary artery occurs when the developing conotruncal septum fails to take a spiral course (see specimen 21). It occurs in about 1 per 2000 births and is usually associated with a ventricular septal defect and/or a patent ductus areteriosus, as in this case.
