Cardiac interventions in the late follow-up of atrial repair for transposition of the great arteries

Obstruction of the venous pathways after atrial repair for transposition of the great arteries is not uncommon and can be, in some cases, fatal. The surgical treatment of these complications is a high-risk procedure. Nowadays, percutaneous balloon angioplasty or stenting have been used with good results. We report two cases of percutaneous treatment of systemic and pulmonary "baffle" obstructions.
