Heart Surgery for Abnormal Blood Flow

In this procedure, the provider surgically repairs a cardiac defect present since birth, in which the aorta arises from the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery arises from the left ventricle, by constructing a baffle or tunnel from the pericardium or the atrial valve that directs the deoxygenated blood to the left ventricle and the pulmonary artery and directs the oxygenated blood to the right ventricle and aorta. The provider places the patient on cardiopulmonary bypass during this procedure. The provider also performs the closure of a ventricular septal defect, or a defect in the tissue wall separating the two ventricles. This procedure is also known as a Mustard or Senning type procedure.
