So the second pump in diastole by the elastic aorta, give a boost to coronary circulation. In systole, contraction of the myocardium, compresses the intramyocardial vessels, so that subendocardial region gets more of blood supply in diastole. So, maintaining a good pressure in diastole, is important for the coronaries.

The surgery was mostly done using a bone splitter to open the breast bone and with heart lung machine to support circulation when the heart is stopped. The result is better than vein graft, but not as good as the internal mammary artery. But now beating heart bypass surgery is commonly done.

And you can see that the left ventricular muscle is thick, because it is connected to the fetal pulmonary circulation with a higher resistance as the lung is not functional. You can see that the coronary arteries are arising from the aorta.

Pulmonary embolism is obstruction of blood vessels of the lungs by clots carried by blood circulation, usually from the legs. It is a serious life threatening condition and hence trying to prevent it is very important. Clots can also migrate from blood vessels of the tummy, but that is not easy to prevent.

Similarly, in PDA Eisenmenger also, the systemic and pulmonary circulations are connected by the PDA, so that in PDA Eisenmenger also, maximum pressure possible is only systemic level in the pulmonary arteries. While in ASD, there is an isolation.

This could lead to exercise related symptoms in the arm, and sometimes, also subclavian steal syndrome, as there could be retrograde flow into the exercising arm, from the cerebral circulation. And, usually this done, Blalock-Taussig shunt, classic shunt, opposite to the side of the aortic arch.

The Impella CP is a catheter-based, axial flow pump that pumps blood directly from the left ventricle into the circulation. The DanShock 6 trial ( NCT01633502 ) evaluated the ability of the Impella CP ventricular assist device to decrease death following MI. It is able to deliver 3.5L/min min (approximately 75% of a normal cardiac output).

I has to be done quite early in life before the left ventricular muscle mass regressed due to the lower load of the pulmonary circulation. Arterial switch operation is the ideal corrective surgery for D-transposition of great arteries. Delayed surgery has been undertaken with ECMO support in some cases.
