Abstract

We report a successful extracardiac direct total cavopulmonary connection without prosthetic materials performed in a 3-year-old boy with tricuspid atresia, infundibular pulmonary stenosis, and normally positioned great arteries. The transected pulmonary trunk was bought down posterolaterally with respect to the right atrium and was anastomosed end-to-end with the inferior vena cava.
