Balloon dilatation of complete obstruction of the superior vena cava after Mustard operation for transposition of great arteries.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Balloon dilatation was successfully performed in two patients with complete obstruction of the superior vena cava baffle junction after a Mustard operation for transposition of the great arteries. Evidence for complete relief of obstruction in the first patient, aged 4 years, was obtained by angiography, which showed improved calibre at the site of obstruction and improved haemodynamic pressure measurement after the balloon dilatation. In the second patient, aged 14 years, the relief was incomplete; in this patient a 3 cm long 3 mm diameter Palmaz stent was successfully implanted.

In seven children dye-dilution curve...
متن کاملSuperior vena caval obstruction after Mustard's operation: detection by two-dimensional contrast echocardiography.
To assess superior vena caval (SVC) obstruction after the Mustard operation for transposition of the great arteries, we performed two-dimensional contrast echocardiography (2-D contrast echo) in 18 patients, ages 1-9 years. Sterile saline was injected into a peripheral scalp or arm vein while the junction of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the systemic venous atrium (SVA) was imaged from the s...
