Anatomical correction of transposition of great arteries with persistent ductus arteriosus. One year after operation.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The postoperative data are described of a boy who had a 'switch' operation for transposition of the great arteries with persistent ductus arteriosus more than a year before. The child is living a normal active life. Electrocardiography, echocardiography, and angiocardiography show persistent abnormality of structure and function of the right ventricle but no evidence of reduced coronary blood flow, coarctation at the suture lines of the great arteries, or aortic regurgitation. Reference is made to an identical case operated upon 2 1/2 years ago.

Transposition of great arteries. Early results of Mustard's operation in paediatric patients.
Between May 1969 and June 1975, 43 patients with d-transposition of the great arteries, ranging in age from 2 months to 13 years (mean 19 months), underwent surgical correction. In the first 3 patients Mustard's original method was followed. Later a modified procedure was performed using a Teflon patch. Forty-two of the 43 patients had previously had 50 various palliative procedures, of which 3...
متن کاملPulmonary vascular disease in transposition of the great vessels and intact ventricular septum.
Eight of 135 (6%) children with d-transposition of the great vessels and with intact ventricular septum and no patent ductus arteriosus had evidence of progressive pulmonary vascular disease. Seven of 101 (7%) patients for whom histologic data was available, had Heath-Edwards grades IV or V pulmonary vascular disease, six had grade II, and 88 had either normal or grade I findings. One of 34 pat...
متن کاملFactors influencing survival after balloon atrial septostomy for complete transposition of great arteries.
Despite balloon atrial septostomy within the first days of life, some patients with complete transposition of the great arteries die before reaching elective definitive surgery in the second six months of life. To discover why, we analysed the fate of 144 patients who had balloon atrial septostomy after 1966, using a modified logrank survival test with multivariate capability. Patients were wit...
متن کاملBilateral ductus arteriosus in d-transposition of the great arteries with right aortic arch.
The rare anomaly of a right aortic arch, distal origin of the left subclavian artery, and posterior left ductus arteriosus (forming a vascular ring) plus a right ductus arteriosus is described in an infant with d-transposition of the great arteries with an intact septum. The presence of a right aortic arch and distal left subclavian artery with bilateral ductus arteriosus has not been described...
متن کاملPulmonary vascular disease in neonates with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum.
BACKGROUND Progressive pulmonary vascular disease in surgically unrepaired transposition of the great arteries with or without ventricular septal defect had been frequently described in the past. Occurrence of progressive pulmonary vascular disease has been reported even after atrial switch procedure done at three months of age. With the advent of neonatal surgical repair, this problem is virtu...
