A case with origin of both great arteries from the right ventricle with pulmonary stenosis has been discussed. Preoperative diagnosis was obtained by angiocardiographic studies and confirmed at operation. Successful correction was achieved by redirecting the outflow to the aorta in such a way that the left ventricle would empty properly in the aorta by the use of cardiopulmonary bypass technique. Special care to relieve the associated pulmonary stenosis as well as interruption of the pre-existing intracardiac shunt was also undertaken.
