The Mustard Procedure allows total correction of transposition of the great vessels. It creates a baffle to redirect deoxygenated caval blood to the left atrium, which then pumps blood to the left ventricle, which in turn delivers this deoxygenated blood to the lungs.

In a Senning procedure, the surgeon uses the patient’s own tissue to create the baffle. In the Mustard procedure, a synthetic material is used. Both are called “atrial switch procedures” because there is a baffle through the heart’s top part, or …

Feb 17, 2017 · Mustard had operated on newborns with TGA in the 1950s with little success. He developed his technique for treating TGA by first testing it on dogs and rhesus monkeys in the early 1960s. Mustard took Baffes's technique of using a baffle, an artificial wall, to route blood in a different direction.

Jul 16, 2015 · The Mustard and Senning operation involves extensive surgery in the atria and leaves the right ventricle as the systemic ventricle. The Mustard and Senning cohort is now well into adulthood and we begin to see the long-term outcome.

The Mustard operation dramatically changed the outlook for babies born with TGA. Although it has been replaced by the arterial switch operation, the Mustard operation is a remarkable contribution to the development of cardiac surgery and …

Dec 12, 2006 · Those with complete transposition of the great arteries have often had an atrial switch procedure (Mustard or Senning operation) performed, which leaves the morphological right ventricle (RV) supporting the systemic circulation.

Jul 19, 2024 · Between around 1960 and the late 80s, the best treatment for this condition was an operation called the atrial switch – or Mustard or Senning procedure. This involves redirecting the blood via a series of channels sewn into the back of the …

What does the Mustard Procedure do? The Mustard procedure restores the circulation but reverses the direction of the blood flow in the heart. In a normal heart, de-oxygenated, blue, blood is pumped into the lungs via the right ventricle. Then it …

A procedure developed by Dr Wm Mustard at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto for correcting transposition of the great vessels, a congenital cyanotic heart disease which, untreated, has a 20% one-year survival.

Complete transposition of the great arteries (D-TGA) accounts for 5% to 7% of congenital heart defects. Although the arterial switch procedure has now replaced atrial redirection as the surgical procedure of choice, most adults today with D-TGA have had Mustard or Senning baffles.
