Pulmonary Venous Obstruction in the Atrial Switch Operation: A Forgotten Complication

Authors: Robert W. Elder, William E. Hellenbrand

Published in: Pediatric Cardiology | Issue 7/2012

Abstract

The reported case involved a 7-year-old girl with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) and situs inversus who after surgical management experienced symptoms of dyspnea and left-sided obstructive heart disease. Her symptoms, chest X-ray, and cardiac catheterization demonstrated pulmonary venous obstruction, a known but rare complication associated with intra-atrial baffle obstruction. The incidence of the reported disorder, the follow-up assessment, and the current literature regarding complications of Senning/Mustard surgery are discussed in the context of patients with ccTGA.
