In congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries following Fontan surgery, a left ventricle with suprasystemic systolic and high end-diastolic pressures paradoxically preserves right ventricular and tricuspid valve function.

Systemic right ventricular function in congenitally corrected transposition depends on septal geometry. Suprasystemic left ventricular systolic pressures and high end-diastolic pressures after Fontan surgery paradoxically preserve right ventricular function.
