Use of in situ pericardium for surgical relief of pulmonary venous obstruction following Mustard's operation

AF Corno, H Laks, B George and RG Williams

A technique is described for relief of pulmonary venous obstruction following the Mustard procedure. The functional left atrium is enlarged by using the pericardium in situ. This is expected to allow for growth of the pericardial patch and to avoid recurrent obstructions. This technique has also been used in reoperations for systemic venous obstruction after enlargement of the systemic baffle with a patch.
