Abstract
The use of the left ventricle as the subpulmonary ventricle to achieve a 1.5 or biventricular circulation is feasible in heterotaxy patients with complex intracardiac anatomy and acceptable right ventricular function. It is an alternative in patients who are not ideal candidates for single-ventricle palliation. We highlight 2 cases in which patients were rescued from a failed Fontan palliation and demonstrated improved functional status with normal saturations.
