Systemic right ventricle failure is a risk for patients with dextro-transposition of the great arteries after surgery. This case highlights successful intervention for a complex adult patient, emphasizing multidisciplinary care.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Congenital Heart Disease
- Adult Congenital Heart Disease
Background:
- Systemic right ventricle failure is a common complication in adults with dextro-transposition of the great arteries (dTGA) following atrial switch procedures like the Mustard repair.
- Patients with dTGA may present with complex residual issues, including baffle leaks and anomalous pulmonary venous return, years after initial surgical correction.
- End-stage heart failure in this population necessitates advanced management strategies.
