An open heart surgery, intraventricular baffle to
pulmonary valve involves the repair of double-outlet right ventricle with
subaortic ventricular septal defect. This congenital defect is characterized by
both the pulmonary and aortic arteries evolving from the right ventricle, and
oxygenated blood from the left ventricle mixing with the right ventricle.

Known As:
Conditions
Treated with Intraventricular Baffle to Pulmonary Valve:
Intraventricular baffle to pulmonary valve may be
performed in cases of pulmonary hypertension, congestive heart failure and double-outlet
right ventricle with subaortic ventricular septal defect.
There are no comparable non-surgical alternatives to
intraventricular baffle to pulmonary valve. Pulmonary artery banding and
intraventricular tunnel repair are surgical alternatives.
Anesthesia
with Intraventricular Baffle to Pulmonary Valve:
Intraventricular baffle to pulmonary valve is
performed under general anesthesia, which means that the patient is asleep and
completely unaware during the procedure.
Potential
Complications from Intraventricular Baffle to Pulmonary Valve:
Possible risks following intraventricular baffle to
pulmonary valve include scarring, infection, bleeding, arrhythmia and a
negative reaction to the anesthesia or the cardiopulmonary bypass. It is also
possible to experience pulmonary hypertension or vasospasm.
Recovery
from Intraventricular Baffle to Pulmonary Valve:
Total recovery
following intraventricular baffle to pulmonary valve takes six to eight weeks.
