Atrial switch is a heart operation performed to treat dextro-Transposition of the great arteries.^[1]^[2] It involves the construction of an atrial baffle which redirects the blood coming into the atria to restore the connection between systemic and pulmonary circulation.^[3]

Two variants of the atrial switch operation developed – the Senning procedure (1950s) which uses the patient's own tissue (pericardium) to construct the baffle, and the Mustard procedure (1960s), which uses a synthetic material.^[4] It has largely been replaced by the arterial switch operation.^[4] The operation is more commonly performed in developing countries, where the condition frequently presents late.^[5]
