Why the study?
What are the long-term effects on cardiac rhythm and survival in patients with complete transposition of the great arteries after the Mustard operation?
What are the long-term effects on cardiac rhythm and survival in patients with complete transposition of the great arteries after the Mustard operation?
The Mustard operation provides extended survival for complete transposition of the great arteries, but is associated with a progressive decline in sinus rhythm and a small risk of sudden death over time.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May warrant enhanced rhythm surveillance in Mustard survivors; leaves open need for contemporary comparisons with arterial switch.
Flinn et al. (1984) studied this question.
