This case report discusses a young man with d-transposition of the great arteries who suffered three myocardial infarctions late after his Mustard procedure. The etiology was found to be a coronary embolism, with a mural thrombus in the systemic ventricle as the probable nidus. The risk factors of coronary embolism are discussed, and it is concluded that Mustard patients are at risk for coronary embolization and myocardial infarction, which can be a cause of sudden death. |
