A male baby was delivered by emergency cesarean section due to fetal distress at 30 weeks of gestational age with a birth weight of 813 g. By fetal echocardiography, the patient had been diagnosed with transposition of great arteries (type 1). Early two-staged arterial switch operation was planned after 34 gestational age avoiding intracranial hemorrhage under cardiopulmonary bypass. At 19 days of life, vegetation was revealed on the pulmonary valve by echocardiography, so he was diagnosed as infectious endocarditis. Cefotaxime and gamma-globulin were given intravenously for 4 weeks. While waiting for the increase in the body weight, desaturation from chronic respiratory distress syndrome was exacerbated. At 8 months old, urgent Senning operation was performed to improve desaturation. The patient was discharged at 20 post operative day. We conclude that Senning operation can be feasible operation in such a complicated case.
