<unk> <unk>  is most commonly performed to treat hypoplastic left heart syndrome, however variations of this procedure are also used for palliation of mitral and tricuspid atresia, and subsets of transposition of great arteries (TGA). In these conditions, the most urgent problem is that the heart is unable to pump blood to the systemic circulation (i.e. to the body). The goal of these three surgeries is to ultimately connect the single ventricle to the systemic circulation. To accomplish this, blood flow to the lungs is disrupted, and therefore an alternative path must be created to provide blood flow to the lungs.
