The pulmonary trunk normally communicates with the right ventricle,transporting poorly oxygenated blood to the lungs after birth.In typical cases of transposition of the great arteries,the aorta arises from the right ventricle anteriorly,and on the left the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle posteriorly.Transposition of the great arteries is the most common cause of cyanotic heart disease in newborn infants,and it is often found in association with other cardiac anomalies.
