Self expandable stents for relief of venous baffle obstruction after the Mustard operation.
OBJECTIVE Obstruction of the venous pathways after Mustard repair for transposition of the great arteries is associated with an increased risk of arrhythmia and sudden death. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the largest (tracheal 22 x 40 mm) Wallstents in treating baffle obstructions. DESIGN Retrospective analysis of patients with stented venous pathways. SUBJECT...
متن کاملThe Mustard Operation
The Mustard Operation is a surgical technique to correct a heart condition called the transposition of the great arteries (TGA). TGA is a birth defect in which the placement of the two arteries, the pulmonary artery, which supplies deoxygenated blood to the lungs, and the aorta, which takes oxygenated blood to the body are switched. William Thornton Mustard developed the operation later named f...
متن کاملLate development of pulmonary venous obstruction following Mustard's operation using a dacron baffle.
Three patients developed late pulmonary vein obstruction (PVO) following Mustard's operation for transposition of the great arteries. In all three the absence of PVO had been documented by an earlier postoperative cardiac catheterization. At reoperation shrinkage and kinking of the dacron baffle was evident. After Mustard's operation, patients should be observed closely for symptoms and signs o...
متن کاملEchocardiographic visualisation of the interatrial baffle after Mustard's operation.
Thirty children aged from 7 weeks to 14 years were examined by echocardiography after Mustard's operation for transposition of the great arteries. Discrete and persitent echoes were noted within the original left atrial cavity and contrast echocardiography was used to establish that these originated from the interatrial baffle. In the presence of caval channel obstruction, caused by malposition...
متن کاملContinuous Murmur Following Mustard Operation for Transposition of the Great Arteries
This patient was seen for the first time at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh at 34 days of age with cyanosis and grunting respirations of two weeks duration. Cardiac catheterization and angiography confirmed the diagnosis of transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with an intact ventricular septum. Following balloon atrial septostomy, systemic arterial saturation rose to 80% from 34%. Repeat...
