title: Cine computed tomography for diagnosis of superior vena cava obstruction following the Mustard operation.
abstract: Superior vena caval obstruction is a well described complication following Mustard's repair for transposition of the great arteries. We report a case of a 6-year-old child with superior vena cava obstruction correctly diagnosed by Cine-CT. The advantages of imaging with Cine-CT for this complication are discussed.
