Objective
|
| Rashkind balloon atrial septostomy |
Transposition of the great arteries |
Palliative procedure, creates an atrial communication to allow for the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood.
|
| Blalock-Taussig shunt, modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (Gore-Tec shunt involving less dissection) |
Pulmonary stenosis, pulmonary atresia, tetralogy of Fallot |
Connects the subclavian artery to the ipsilateral pulmonary artery allowing for improved pulmonary blood flow.
|
| Fontan procedure |
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome, tricuspid atresia, hypoplastic right heart syndrome, single right ventricle lesions |
Cavocaval baffle to pulmonary artery anastomosis allows all systemic venous return to the directed to the pulmonary arteries.
|
| Arterial switch operation |
Transposition of the great arteries |
Aortic trunk is connected to the left ventricle, pulmonic trunk is connected to the right ventricle.
|
| Glenn operation |
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome, hypoplastic right heart syndrome |
Cavopulmonary shunt connects the superior vena cava to the right pulmonary artery.
|
| Norwood operation, Norwood operation with Sano modification |
Hypoplastic left heart syndrome, single ventricle lesions with aortic stenosis or hypoplasia |
Aortic arch reconstruction using the main pulmonary artery and ascending aorta, atrial septectomy, and modified Blalock-Taussig shunt provides unobstructed systemic blood flow and adequate coronary artery perfusion.
