    Abstract:
    : We report a successful combined approach of transvenous mechanical pacing lead extraction and stent angioplasty for superior baffle occlusion in a young woman with D-transposition of great artery after Mustard procedure. After having extracted the pacing leads, the baffle was easily stented, thanks to the channel left by the extracted leads. Eventually, a new pacing lead was implanted into the pulmonic ventricle through the stented baffle. Our report demonstrates the safeness and feasibility of a combined interventional approach in avoiding the need for surgery.
