MAPCA ligation
"The pulmonary vascular bed is reconstructed by a procedure known as “unifocalization” in which as many of the aortopulmonary collateral arteries ( MAPCAs) as possible are detached from the aorta and anastomosed to the central pulmonary arterial tree, in order to provide unobstructed blood flow from the RV to the pulmonary microcirculation."

Cardiopulmonary bypass places these patients at risk of cerebral hypoperfusion due to increased runoff of output into the pulmonary arteries.
In these patients as many MAPCAs are ligated and mobilised as possible (monitoring for arterial desaturation as an endpoint) prior to commencement of bypass.
