Electrophysiologic studies after Mustard's operation for d-transposition of the great vessels

Palliative mustard operation for transposition of the great arteries: Late results after 15–20 years

“…None of the patients had obstruction in venoatrial pathways with magnetic resonance imaging or echocardiography. The mean follow up period of 15-20, mean (SD) 17 (2) years is the longest of published reports.35 Most patients in this series (8 of 10) maintained a good Ability Index (2) and were able to work with their lives minimally disturbed by cardiac problems despite the limitation of exercise tolerance from arterial desaturation with cyanosis on exertion.…”

“…Improvement in symptoms and signs (failure to thrive, heart failure, dyspnoea, and cyanosis) occurred initially in all patients after palliative Mustard operation and was maintained for 13-4 (4.7) years until age [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30] (mean (SD) (5) Time after operation (years) Figure 1 Development of heartfailure (HF) and cyanosis (CY) with change in Ability Index (AI) in time after palliative Mustard operation. quent heart failure which was controlled by digoxin and diuretics; since then, the patient has experienced no further deterioration in symptoms or functional state and her ability index remains at 2 20 years after the procedure.…”

“…Tricuspid regurgitation had developed in seven patients by the age of 14-5-31 (mean (SD) 22-4 (5.4)), [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] (mean (SD) 13 (3)) years after the operation (figs 3 and 4) and was trivial in three (nos 1, 7, and 8), moderate in two (nos 4 and 5), and severe in two (nos 6 and 10), although only one was symptomatic.…”

“…[3][4][5] Knowledge about the state and fate in adults is sparse. This study reports the findings in all adults patients seen in the Grown-up Congenital Heart Unit during the past [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] (mean (SD) 11 (5.7)) years, 15-20 years after palliative Mustard operation.…”
