title: [A modified technique in total cavopulmonary connection].
abstract: We have used an alternative technique in Total Cavopulmonary Connection without using any prosthetic material. The technique is a modification of Senning operation in which a flap of right atrial wall is used to create a tunnel between inferior vena cava and superior vena cava. We used this modified technique in two cases, and they showed excellent postoperative convalescence.
