• 4D-flow MRI can be used to assess intraventricular flow dynamics in d-TGA patients. • d-TGA arterial switch patients mostly show intraventricular flow dynamics representative of normal subjects, while atrial switch patients show increased flow disorder and different proportions of intraventricular flow volumes. • Flow disruption and disorder increase viscous energy losses.
