- AORTICOPULMONARY WINDOW SHUNT
= side-to-side anastamosis between ascending aorta and left pulmonary artery (reversible procedure) – used in Tetralogy of Fallot BACK to TOP
= end-to-side anastomosis of subclavian artery to pulmonary artery, performed ipsilateral to innominate artery/opposite to aortic arch: Tetralogy of Fallot, tricuspid atresia c pulmonic stenosis BACK to TOP
- BLALOCK-HANLON PROCEDURE
= surgical creation of ASD: Complete transposition BACK to TOP
= (1) external conduit from R atrium to pulmonary trunk (= venous return enters pulmonary artery directly) (2) closure of ASD: floor constructed from flap of atrial wall and roof from piece of prosthetic material: Tricuspid atresia BACK to TOP
= end-to-side shunt between distal end of right pulmonary artery and SVC; reserved for patients with cardiac defects in which total correction is not anticipated: Tricuspid atresia BACK to TOP
= side-to-side anastomosis between descending aorta + left pulmonary artery: Tetralogy of Fallot BACK to TOP
= (1) removal of atrial septum (b) pericardial baffle placed into common atrium such that systemic venous blood is rerouted into left ventricle and pulmonary venous return into right ventricle and aorta: Complete Transposition BACK to TOP
= balloon atrial septostomy: Complete transposition BACK to TOP
= external conduit (Dacron) with porcine valve connecting RV to pulmonary trunk: Transposition BACK to TOP
= side-to-side anastomosis between ascending aorta and right pulmonary artery (a) extrapericardial (WATERSON) and (b) intrapericaridial (COOLEY): Tetralogy of Fallot BACK to TOP
