HEART SURGERY
Arterial switch. At birth the large vessels were reversed: the aorta originated in the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery came from the left ventricle. In the arterial switch operation (ASO), the aorta and the pulmonary artery are cut and reconnected to the \correct\ pumping chamber (ventricle). In addition, the small coronary arteries must be moved to the correct vessel as well. 3D CT scan. The icon at the bottom-right indicates the image's perspective: A : anterior, P : posterior, R : right, L : left, F : foot (viewed from below), H : head (viewed from above).
