A successful surgical palliative procedure, consisting of an arterial switch operation, pulmonary artery banding, and arch repair, was performed in a neonate with Taussig-Bing anomaly and aortic arch interruption, subaortic stenosis, and multiple muscular ventricular septal defects. Such anatomical complexity made treatment difficult. This palliative procedure allows future biventricular repair.
