This week we review the topic of transposition of the great arteries and the most common late long term complication of the arterial switch operation - supravalvar pulmonary distortion or stenosis. How effective were interventions for this problem and what complications were encountered? Does balloon dilation alone ever work to help this problem? Are there risk factors for possible catheterization related complications when working on the pulmonary arteries? We discuss these and more questions with the first author of a recent report on this topic - Dr Jesse Lee who is Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Lee reviews this large series from his former group at Rady Children's Hospital. doi: 10.1111/chd.12726
