Oxygen saturations remained labile with a notable preductal and postductal gradient of 10% with brief preductal saturations of greater than 90%. Cardiovascular examination was normal. A chest X-ray was taken at 2 hours of life (figure 1).\n\n\n\nFigure 1 \nAnteroposterior chest radiograph taken at two hours of life.\n\n\n\n‘Egg on a string sign’ suggests which congenital cardiac condition?\n\n1.
