1/4. Transcatheter occlusion of atrial baffle leak after mustard repair.We present a case of transcatheter closure of an atrial baffle leak with significant systemic to pulmonary atrium shunt in a patient late after Mustard operation and pulmonary valvotomy for transposition of the great arteries. This procedure alleviated the need for reoperation in a high-risk symptomatic patient. Cathet. Cardiovasc.

2/4. Balloon dilation of pulmonary venous pathway obstruction in an infant after the mustard procedure.Pulmonary venous pathway obstruction developed after a Mustard procedure in an infant with transposition of the great arteries. The stenosis was successfully dilated by the percutaneous balloon technique with immediate clinical, echocardiographic, and hemodynamic improvement, which has persisted for 8 months after dilation. This technique is a feasible alternative to reoperation in such an obstruction, even in infants.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mustard (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/4. Communicating hydrocephalus secondary to venous complications following intraatrial baffle operation (mustard procedure) for d-transposition of the great arteries.A 39-month-old male had macrocephaly and communicating hydrocephalus secondary to superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction which was a postoperative complication of an intraatrial baffle operation (Mustard procedure) performed at age 10 months. Computerized tomography revealed progressive hydrocephalus. cardiac catheterization showed an SVC pressure of 24 mm Hg. IVC and systemic vein atrium pressures were 5 mm Hg. Cineangiograms showed huge azygos collaterals from SVC to IVC. The operation was revised using a Dacron baffle instead of the original pericardial baffle. Nine months postoperatively, the head circumference was 55.0 cm and there was no clinical evidence of SVC obstruction.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mustard (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/4. Anatomic correction for post-mustard pulmonary venous obstruction.pulmonary artery banding and arterial switch operation as a two-stage approach have offered a surgical solution to the failing right ventricle after intraatrial repair of the transposition of the great arteries. Banding of the pulmonary artery increases the resistance to the left ventricular output and, therefore, "prepares" the left ventricle for supporting the systemic circulation and arterial switch operation. We report a case of anatomic correction for transposition of the great arteries after intraatrial repair (Mustard's operation) in which the left ventricle was retrained serendipitously as a consequence of pulmonary venous obstruction complicating Mustard's procedure.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = mustard (Clic here for more details about this article) |
