An eleven month-old child underwent a successful modified double switch operation for total correction of complete atrioventricular canal, double outlet right ventricle, noncommitted ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, common atrium and anomalous left superior vena cava to an unroofed coronary sinus. We describe the technique of modified double switch operation, utilizing an atrial switch combined with a Rastelli type reconstruction between the venous ventricle and the pulmonary artery.
