Pulmonary arterial hypertension in patients with prior atrial switch procedure for d-transposition of great arteries (dTGA)
2010, International Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :When these procedures are compared in long-term follow up, there was no difference in mortality, but Senning patients had better functional status [8,9]. Late sequelae of the Senning and Mustard operations include arrhythmias [10–13], systemic ventricular dysfunction, tricuspid regurgitation [13,14], and atrial baffle obstruction and leaks [15]. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), defined as an elevated mean pulmonary arterial pressure more than 25 mmHg at rest, is a serious complication of atrial switch repairs documented in up to 7% of patients surviving to adulthood [16–18] leading to reduced functional capacity and quality of life after developing PAH.

2005, Journal of Cardiac FailureCitation Excerpt :Atrial arrhythmias can be difficult to detect on the electrocardiogram because of slow atrial rates. Sick sinus syndrome, atrial flutter, and supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) are associated with the development of heart failure and with death late after the Mustard operation.37,38 Similarly, atrial flutter, fibrillation and supraventricular tachycardia are common sequelae of the marked atrial enlargement that occurs late after the Fontan operation.

2004, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :As early as 1972, El-Said et al. (13) remarked on the frequent occurrence of arrhythmias after the Mustard operation. Both bradyarrhythmias (primarily sinus node dysfunction) and tachyarrhythmia (primarily AFL/AF) are common after the Mustard/Senning approach for TGA (14–16). Modifications of surgical technique have not reduced the risk (3,5,16–18).
