The Annals of Thoracic Surgery

Abstract

The management of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and associated lesions is frequently challenging. Restrictive ventricular septal defect and mild pulmonary stenosis are contraindications to the double switch procedure, including the atrial-Rastelli switch procedure, due to the production of postoperative left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. We describe a case of aortic translocation using the hemi-Mustard procedure after left ventricular training in order to prevent postoperative left ventricular outflow obstruction.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
