چکیده
Twelve patients with dextro-transposition of the great vessels (age eight months to four years) were studied by echocardiography following Mustard's procedure. Nine of them had also been studied preoperatively. Postoperatively all patients demonstrated structural echoes in the atrial cavity behind the pulmonary root. In ten, the motion pattern generally resembled that of a stenotic atrioventricular valve with

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in transposition of the great arteries treated with mustard atrial baffle.
The survival of patients with D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) has dramatically improved with corrective surgical procedures, including the atrial and arterial switch operations. In the current era, the majority of the adult patients typically have undergone atrial switch operations, either a Senning or a Mustard procedure. Late complications include baffle obstruction, systemic ve...
متن کاملAssessment of left ventricular contractile state after anatomic correction of transposition of the great arteries.
When compared with intra-atrial baffle repairs for D-transposition of the great arteries (TGA), anatomic correction offers the theoretic advantage that it results in the use of the left ventricle (LV) as the systemic ventricle. Although the long-term success of this procedure depends on the function of the LV, little is known regarding LV postoperative contractile state. The LV end-systolic pre...
متن کاملPhysiologic correction of transposition of the great arteries. Indications for and results of operation in 32 patients.
The total management of a group of 32 patients with transposition of the great arteries (TGA) is reported. All but one had required creation of an atrial septal defect in infancy. Eighteen patients had no associated cardiac defects, and physiologic correction was performed between 8 months and 9X years of age. The only death in this group occurred 9 months after operation. Eight of nine patient...

متن کاملCine magnetic resonance imaging after surgical repair in patients with transposition of the great arteries.
Cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was used for postoperative evaluation of eight patients who underwent intra-atrial baffle procedure for surgical repair of D-transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA). Their ages ranged from 9 months to 8 years. Younger patients were sedated with chloral hydrate (80 to 100 mg/kg) orally. MRI was performed with use of a General Electric Signa system operat...
