Abstract
Three patients aged 4, 6, and 9 years were discovered at cardiac cathe terization to have combined pulmonary venous and systemic venous obstr uction following the Mustard operation for transposition of the great arteries. Relief of systemic venous baffle obstruction may unmask pulm onary venous obstruction. Full evaluation of the pulmonary venous conf luence is recommended in any patient with systemic baffle obstruction.
