Abstract
We describe the technique of Kawashima repair without using cardiopulmonary bypass in 6 consecutive patients of single ventricle morphology with interrupted inferior vena cava and pulmonary stenosis. No patient had central nervous system disorder or chylothorax. The off-pump technique is feasible in Kawashima repair. This technique avoids use of cardiopulmonary bypass, thereby preventing its deleterious effects, which is also economical.
