Repairing Heart Defects to Improve Blood Flow.

The provider closes several ventricular septal defects with sutures or patch grafts to prevent the mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in the ventricles. The provider then performs a valvotomy, where the provider incises or resects the leaflets of the pulmonary valve. Alternatively, the provider removes muscle tissue at the ventricular outflow tract in an infundibular resection. This relieves blockage of blood flow through the outflow tract.
