Outcome after Fontan Operation
A detailed analysis of the long term outcome after the Fontan operation performed
for complex birth defects like Tricuspid Atresia, HLHS, Single Ventricle and
Pulmonary Atresia.
Arterial Switch Operation
The complex operation used to switch the positions of the aorta and pulmonary
artery for TGA.
Atrial Switch Operation - Mustard and Senning
Atrial switch procedures were the first to be performed to treat TGA, and are still
useful in certain circumstances.
Balloon Atrial Septostomy
A palliative trans-catheter procedure used to fenestrate the inter-atrial septum and
help better oxygenation of blood in TGA.
Blalock-Taussig Shunt Operation
A systemic-pulmonary shunt procedure used in the palliation of conditions like
Tetralogy of Fallot.
Fontan Operation
The operation used to treat conditions like tricuspid atresia with a single ventricle
physiology.

Intra-cardiac Repair for Tetralogy of Fallot
A description of the open heart operation used to correct all four components of
the Tetralogy of Fallot.
Orthotopic Heart Transplantation
The last alternative for complex heart disease, heart transplantation is becoming
increasingly safer and more widely used.
Norwood Operation
A highly complex operation performed in three stages to treat hypoplastic left
ventricle syndrome (HLHS).
Rastelli Operation
An operation using an outflow conduit used to treat cases of pulmonary atresia and
other conditions with severe right ventricle outflow obstruction.
Right Ventricle Outflow patch repair
An operation used in Tetralogy of Fallot and other severe right ventricle
obstructions.
Minimally Invasive Congenital Heart Surgery
See how this exciting concept has found application in treating birth defects of the
heart.
Outcome after Mustard Operation for TGA
The older atrial switch operation for TGA has many survivors. A look at what kind
of outcome can be expected for them.
Mustard Operation for TGA - Options for RV failure
Right ventricle failure in the long term is a limiting factor in the success of atrial
switch for TGA. An account of options available in this situation.
