Abstract

In spite of significant improvements in outcome, adults surviving the Mustard procedure continue to be at risk of premature death, cardiac failure, and arrhythmias. Primary ventricular fibrillation as a cause of sudden death in these patients may not be uncommon, and implantation of a defibrillator should be considered, particularly if there is systemic ventricular dysfunction and pre-existing heart block.
