A 22-month-old male infant with single atrium, single ventricle, regurgitant common atrioventricular valve, pulmonary atresia, patent ductus arteriosus, and inferior vena cava defect with azygos connection was treated successfully with total cavopulmonary shunt and replacement of the common atrioventricular valve.
