Pre- and postoperative cardiac catheterization data and cinenangiocardiograms of 82 patients who survived the Mustard operation for transposition of the great arteries (TGA) were reviewed. The post-operative catheterizations were performed 20 days to 10 years after operation (mean 2.5 years). Forty-six patients (56%) had no or insignificant associated cardiac lesions, whereas 36 (44%) had ventricular septal defect, pulmonary stenosis, or both, and required surgical intervention at the time of the Mustard operation. Postoperatively, 11 patients (13%) had significant systemic venous obstruction. Of the 11 patients, 6 required reoperation, and 2 patients had evidence of restenosis or complete obstruction in the superior vena cava after reoperation. In most patients, superior vena caval obstruction was well tolerated even in the presence of high pressure in the superior vena cava. Pulmonary venous obstruction occurred in 5 patients (6%), 3 of whom had no clinical symptoms despite severe pulmonary venous obstruction, although all had radiographic evidence of pulmonary venous congestion. The incidence of obstruction was drastically reduced after the Mustard operation was modified to include routine enlargement of the pulmonary venous atrium. Tricuspid regurgitation was uncommon (10%), but did occur in patients who had transatrial closure of a ventricular septal defect. Preoperatively, left ventricular outflow obstruction occurred in 38%. In 12 patients an attempt was made to relieve the obstruction at surgery. The 6 patients who had localized obstruction had a good result, but patients with more diffuse narrowing of left ventricular outflow had little or no relief of obstruction. Mild to moderate left ventricular outflow gradients regressed spontaneously in most patients after the Mustard operation.
