The Mustard procedure is a heart operation developed in 1963 by surgeon William Mustard at the Hospital for Sick Children, using an atrial baffle to redirect blood flow at the level of the heart's upper chambers, the same general approach as the earlier Senning procedure. Its main difference from the Senning procedure is that the baffle is made of synthetic Dacron material or the patient's own pericardium, rather than native heart tissue.
