    A 12-year-old child with complex congenital heart disease, including complete heart block and situs inversus, underwent corrective surgery. Despite the Mustard procedure, the child succumbed to hemorrhage and low cardiac output post-operation.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pediatric Cardiology
    • Congenital Heart Disease

    Background:

    • Complex congenital heart disease presents unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in pediatric patients.
    • Situs inversus with laevocardia is a rare condition requiring careful anatomical assessment.
    • Complete heart block necessitates evaluation for underlying cardiac anomalies and potential interventions.

    Observation:

    • A 12-year-old child presented with complete heart block, abdominal situs inversus, and laevocardia.
    • Further investigations revealed an inferior vena cava draining into the azygos vein, an atrial level shunt, and pulmonary valve stenosis.
    • Intraoperative findings included a lone atrium, ventricular inversion without great vessel transposition.

    Findings:

    • The patient had a complex cardiac malformation including complete heart block, situs inversus with laevocardia, azygos continuation of the inferior vena cava, atrial shunt, and pulmonary stenosis.

  • Surgical correction using the Mustard procedure was performed.
  • Despite surgical intervention, the patient experienced fatal hemorrhage and low cardiac output.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the intricate anatomical variations and challenges in managing complex congenital heart disease.
    • The Mustard procedure, while a standard palliative approach for certain conditions, may have limitations in highly complex or atypical presentations.
    • Understanding rare cardiac anomalies is crucial for improving surgical outcomes and patient management in pediatric cardiology.
