Mustard operation for transposition of the great arteries in a 3-day-old infant, complicated by acute renal failure.
A successful operative treatment of a three day old girl with transposition of the great arteries is described. Post-operative course was complicated by furosemide resistant anuria which was treated by peritoneal dialysis. At the age of eight months, she is a pink, active baby, developing normally. This case report demonstrates the importance of aggressive treatment of severe congenital heart lesions in the first few days of life. The importance of post-operative care is emphasized.
