Terminal arrhythmia in a patient with Mustard's operation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 September 2006
Abstract
In spite of significant improvements in outcome, adults surviving the Mustard procedure continue to be at risk of premature death, cardiac failure, and arrhythmias. Primary ventricular fibrillation as a cause of sudden death in these patients may not be uncommon, and implantation of a defibrillator should be considered, particularly if there is systemic ventricular dysfunction and pre-existing heart block.
