ABSTRACT
The surgical strategy for patients having a functionally single ventricle associated with totally anomalous pulmonary venous connection and pulmonary atresia with non-confluent pulmonary artery has yet to be agreed. We created an intraatrial tunnel to produce a total cavo-pulmonary connection in such a patient, also creating a confluence for the pulmonary arteries. By minimizing the use of the GoreTex patch, the patient was able to discontinue the use of warfarin.
