To provide flow to the branch PAs. (pulmonary artery perfusion)
This surgery is performed to alleviate RVOT obstruction in a patient with TOF.
What is Transannular Patch (TAP?
Look for patch leaks, Free PI or PR, RV dilation.
A parallel circulation pattern is the result of this embryological mishap.
What is the lack of spiralling of the great arteries?
This classic window and view provides the best visualization of the ductus arteriosus in the young.
What is the Ductal Cut?
In the Adult it is the High PSAX - Trx at 3 oclock and angling TRX superiorly towards mid-clavicle. Pant leg view of PA branches.
The RV is identified by these two main features.
What is the moderator band and the apically displaced TV septal leaflet?
(...relative to the MVSL, which creates the offset of inlet valves)
What is Mustard/Sennings and Jatene with Lecompte Maneuver?
Atrial and arterial switches.
A patch is required between the aorta and MPA to separate the roots and reduce pulmonary blood flow.
What is and Aortopulmonary window patch?
A VSD in the perimembranous area has been closed spontaneously but now there is AR.
What is aortic valve prolapse?
SSN, SAX with sweep towards neck to identify first branch.
This flap is key to identify the left atrial morphology.
I am the one who invented the coronary artery baffle to re-establish the coronary circulation from the systemic circulation.
Who is Takeuchi?
Can you name the abnormality?
This surgery involves replacing the AV by autograft rather than a homograft.
What is Ross procedure, as the native PV is transected and placed into the aortic annulus?
More recent addition of Loose Jacket technique preventing root dilation (support).
What is flow direction from higher pressures to lower pressures across an AP window?
The window and view to best demonstrate anatomy following the Lecompte maneuver.
What is the SSN SAX? (PAs draped over the ascending aorta is seen)
The branches of the left sided arch that supply the head and neck.
I discovered a relationship between an autosomal dominant trait in patients who have a tall stature and concommittant pathology of the aortic root.
Who is Marfan?
My surgical procedure is named after an animal's snout but is very useful in a patient with extensive thoracic aortic disease.

I described this acute viral illness with generalized vasculitis, particularly of the CA's.
Who is Kawasaki?
The stage of surgery which requires a "Y" connection between the great arteries to provide CA flows, since the aortic valve was underdeveloped.
What is the Damus-Kaye-Stansel (or DKS) surgery.
Additionally, the arch is augmented using the native PA & MPA.
