Abstract

A unidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis was performed on the right side in a patient with a functionally univentricular heart, atresia of main and left pulmonary artery, bilateral superior caval veins, and a patent arterial duct in the right pulmonary artery. Anastomosis of the left superior caval vein to the right superior caval vein created a neo-innominate vein without using prosthetic material.
