Atrial switch is a heart operation performed to treat dextro- transposition of the great arteries.^[1] 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.^{[citation needed]}

Two variants of the atrial switch operation exist – the Senning procedure which uses the patient's own tissue (pericardium) to construct the baffle, and the Mustard procedure, which uses a synthetic material.

The operation is more commonly performed in developing countries.^[2]^[3]
