Abstract
A 5-year-old boy, with a double inlet solitary ventricle, pulmonary atresia, and apicocaval juxtaposition underwent an extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection. A pedicled pericardial conduit was placed behind the ventricle to make a straight pathway between the inferior vena cava and pulmonary artery. This report presents a solution for managing patients with complicated heart defects with apicocaval juxtaposition during the completion of a total cavopulmonary connection.
