Abstract 

A 58-year-old woman with a known congenitally corrected L-transposition of great arteries (TGA) presented with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction. Dual-source computed tomography showed characteristic features of congenitally corrected L-TGA and myocardial bridge at the proximal segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery. This case showed how multidetector computed tomography images could aid visualization of L-TGA and myocardial bridge.
