Final answer:

Tetralogy of Fallot is the congenital cyanotic defect associated with left axis deviation, distinguished by a combination of four heart abnormalities and is the most common cyanotic condition after birth.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only congenital cyanotic heart defect that typically presents with left axis deviation (LAD) is the Tetralogy of Fallot. This condition includes four anatomical abnormalities of the heart: pulmonary infundibular stenosis, an overriding aorta, a ventricular septal defect, and right ventricular hypertrophy. The primary feature that causes cyanosis is the ventricular septal defect, which allows deoxygenated blood to mix with oxygenated blood, leading to lower overall oxygen levels in the body.

Other conditions listed, such as transposition of the great arteries, tricuspid atresia, and total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, also lead to cyanosis but do not typically present with LAD. Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common cause of cyanosis following birth and is often treated with surgical repair to improve survival outcomes.
