  2. 3.The aorta "overrides" the VSD.
  3. 4.Ventricular septal defect. With significant obstruction in the right ventricular outflow tract, blood will shunt from right to left, bypassing the lungs and leading to cyanosis . 
  4. 5.Muscular right ventricular outflow obstruction has been cut away as part of the repair.
  5. 6.Patch closure of the VSD.
  6. TETRALOGY OF FALLOT   
  7. 7.Right ventricular outflow patch to address all levels of obstruction.
