=== Involved procedures ===
Perfusionists can be involved in a number of cardiac surgical procedures, select vascular procedures and a few other surgical procedures in an ancillary role.<ref name="thiperf2019" />

[[Perfusionists]] may participate in curative or staged palliative procedures to treat the following pediatric pathologies:

* [[ventricular septal defect]]s,
* [[tetralogy of Fallot|tetralogy/pentalogy of Fallot]],
* [[truncus arteriosus]],
* [[transposition of the great vessels]],
* [[cardiac transplant]]s,
* [[lung transplant]]s,
* [[coarctation of the aorta]],
* [[interrupted aortic arch]],
* [[hypoplastic left heart syndrome|hypoplastic left]]/[[Hypoplastic right heart syndrome|right heart]],
* [[subaortic membrane]],
* [[mitral valve repair]]/[[Mitral valve replacement|replacement]],
* [[aortic valve]] disorders,
* anomalous/single [[coronary artery]],
* [[vascular ring]],
* [[extracorporeal membrane oxygenation]] (ECMO)

Adult surgical procedures may include:
