(A) Aortography demonstrated anomalous origin of the coronary arteries with the left coronary originating from the right sinus of Valsalva and the right coronary artery originating from the left sinus of Valsalva. Both coronaries were disease free. (B) CT angiography demonstrated anomalous origin of the coronary arteries with the left coronary originating from the right sinus of Valsalva and the right coronary artery originating from the left sinus of Valsalva. Both coronaries were disease free. (C) MRI shows congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and the ventricles of the heart. Atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance is displayed. (D) MRIs of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and the ventricles of the heart. Double atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance is evident.

Figure 3
Thallium scintigram revealed both at rest and on exertion increased radiotracer uptake for the right (functionally left) ventricle, probably owing to its compensatory hypertrophy. There was no reversible perfusion defect suggestive of myocardial ischaemia.
