Abstract:
We describe two cases of left-side pulmonary vein obstruction observed after the arterial switch operation (Jatene) for D-transposition of the great arteries. This appears to be related to left-sided pulmonary vein obstruction occurring coincidently with D-transposition of the great arteries, rather than a consequence of arterial switch operation.
