See a specialist: The mustard procedure was common before complete surgical correction of tga (transposition of the great arteries). The problem with the mustard procedure is that the rv is hooked to the aorta which over time can lead to heart failure. Most cardiologists (myself included) do not see enough pts like this, see a specialist in adult congenital heart disease. All major children's center have them.

A few things...: After a mustard procedure there are three main issues: tiring out of the chamber that pumps to the body (right ventricle), leaking of the valve leading into the rv, and abnormal heart rhythms. Shortness of breath, chronic cough, ankle swelling, palpitations (abnormal heart rhythms) and fainting are common symptoms. The most important measure is to see your cardiologist regularly for check-ups.
