Late onset pulmonary valvar stenosis after arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries.

The arterial switch operation (Jatene procedure) is the treatment of choice for transposition of the great arteries with intact ventricular septum (TGA-IVS) in neonatal age, because of the low mortality and morbidity during long term follow up. Right ventricular outflow obstruction is the most frequent postoperative complication, occurring with suYcient severity to require reintervention in up ...

A case of severe pulmonary hypertension associated with common arterial trunk and VSD in a 9 years old child

Background: Common arterial trunk (CAT) is a rare congenital heart disease, and often leads to the early development of pulmonary hypertension and disability. Among the critical structural heart defects, the frequency of CAT is 3%, which reflects the severe hemodynamic disturbances. The natural course of the disease is characterized by a high mortality rate up to 88% during the first year of li...

Aortopulmonary Fistula after Multiple Pulmonary Artery Stenting and Dilatation for Postarterial Switch Supravalvular Stenosis

We present a case of iatrogenic aortopulmonary fistula following pulmonary artery (PA) stenting late after arterial switch operation (ASO) for D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA), an unusual complication that may be encountered more frequently in contemporary adult cardiology clinics. The diagnosis should be sought in the face of unexplained heart failure in patients who underwent ASO...

Onset of pulmonary stenosis after arterial switch operation for transposition of great arteries with intact ventricular septum

INTRODUCTION Pulmonary stenosis remains the most frequent complication and cause of reintervention after the arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries We investigated the onset, incidence, and outcome of pulmonary stenosis after arterial switch operation in neonates with transposition of the great arteries and intact ventricular septum. METHODS Arterial switch operatio...
