Surgical Procedures for the Treatment of Congenital Heart Defects
Procedure | Cardiac Lesion | 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. |
