Core Tip Transposition of the great arteries is as common in Nigeria as in the other parts of the world. The most common mode of presentation in our subjects was cyanosis. Palliative and definitive interventions are currently not available for them in Nigeria. A lot of lives are being wasted yearly because of unavailable and inaccessible surgical care.
