Transposition of the great arteries refers to a condition in which the aorta arises from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle. A transposition of the great vessels is not associated with the pulmonary trunk arising from the RV, the RV pumping blood into the lungs, or an intermittent murmur.
