Concept UI M0541976
Scope note A complex cardiac surgical procedure done on individuals with univentricular congenital heart malformations to establish sufficient outflow to the systemic circulation. This operation (Norwood procedure stage 1) involves disconnecting the PULMONARY ARTERY from the heart so that the right ventricle can be connected to the AORTA instead, and the creation of an alternative path for the pulmonary blood flow. The new path for arterial blood flow to the lungs is created by a systemic-to-pulmonary arterial shunt such as a MODIFIED BLALOCK-TAUSSIG SHUNT.
