A Simple Method of Perfusion for Refashioning the Intraatrial Baffle after Physiological Correction of Transposition of the Great Vessels

The intraatrial baffle used in physiological repair of transposition of the great arteries can fibrose and alter its shape, producing venous obstruction, so that refashioning may become necessary as a secondary procedure. Reopcration under these circumstances is difficult, and can be made easier by using a simple perfusion technique requiring a minimum of dissection for cannulation. A technique is described utilising a “left atrial” to femoral...
