Efficient approach to superior vena cava baffle stenosis following the Mustard procedure: Expanding the role of a mechanical rotating dilator sheath for lead extraction
Abstract:Introduction
In adult congenital patients with transposition of the great arteries originally treated with the Mustard (atrial switch) procedure, the most common reason for re‐intervention is baffle stenosis. This may be exacerbated by permanent transvenous pacemaker lead placement across the baffle.
Case report
A 47‐year‐old female status post Mustard procedure performed at 15 months old presented with a high‐grade stenosis of the superior vena cava (SVC) baffle from the SVC to the left atrium, with a nonfunc… Show more
