Abstract
We report the case of a rare complex cardiac anomaly involving situs solitus, concordant atrioventricular connection with left-hand ventricular topology, and L-looped ventricles. The ventricles had a superior-inferior relationship with an inferiorly located right ventricle, which had a double outlet with far posteriorly located great arteries. The left atrium was elongated, with juxta-positioned atrial appendages on the right side. The 3D-printed model using a computed tomography scan taken on the fourth day of birth demonstrated the anatomy clearly and helped us decide on the surgical management.Graphic Abstract
