“…Clamps that can be applied to large vessels without slipping and without causing damage have been evolved on the pattern introduced by Potts et al (1946). Suturing is still largely done by hand in spite of the promise offered by stapling machines.…”

“…The Waterston shunt is an anastomosis between the ascending aorta and the right PA (18). The Potts shunt is an anastomosis between the descending aorta and the left PA (19). Disadvantages of these shunts include potentially excessive pulmonary blood flow and distortion of the PAs with patient growth (1).…”

Advances in the surgical management of congenital heart disease have led to enhanced patient survival and quality of life. Improvements in technology in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have resulted in increasing use of cross-sectional imaging in these patients. Perioperative care in these patients requires that radiologists have an understanding of the surgical treatment and the resultant postoperative anatomy. Because many of these patients with treated congenital heart disease are being followed into the 4th and 5th decades of life, this is information that will fall within the domain of the radiologist who deals with adults. This review, which is presented in two parts, covers the major surgical procedures used for the treatment of congenital heart disease, and will be presented in two parts. In part 1, median sternotomy and its complications, palliative procedures, and complex repairs are discussed.

“…Therapy in these two conditions is directed toward increasing pulmonary blood flow by means of an anastomosis between a subclavian artery and a pulmonary artery according to the technic of Blalock and Taussig 3 or a direct aorticopulmonary anastomosis as described by Potts, Smith and Gibson. 4 Sixty-four patients with severe hypoxemia and life-endangering spells of anoxemic unconsciousness due to tetralogy of Fallot underwent such shunting procedures during the first year of life. The mortality rate was 16 per cent.…”
