[Stent implantation in systemic venous baffle obstruction after Mustard-type operation repair in an adult].

Late systemic venous baffle obstruction after Mustard repair for complete transposition of the great arteries is a recognized complication. Balloon-expandable intravascular stents have previously been used to relieve systemic baffle narrowing in children. We report a successful stent implantation to relieve symptomatic superior vena cava obstruction and baffle dehiscence after Mustard repair in an adult patient. She had been turned down for surgery due to right ventricular dysfunction. Eighteen months after the procedure, she remains symptomless.
