Hybrid stenting through direct ventricular access for severe stenosis of the pulmonary venous baffle after atrial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Atrial switch repair was the first surgical intervention to result in long-term survival in patients with ventriculo-arterial discordance or transposition of the great arteries. However, the natural history after atrial switch is not uneventful with frequent atrial arrhythmia, development of baffle stenosis, and eventually heart failure. For this, new interventions might be necessary but are often associated with increased risk.

Case summary

We present the case of a 49-year-old woman born with ventriculo-arterial discordance or dextro-transposition of the great arteries who underwent atrial switch repair according to Mustard at the age of 1 year. She presented with shortness of breath and reduced exercise capacity. The echocardiography revealed prominent turbulent
