[A case of tricuspid atresia treated with fenestrated total cavopulmonary connection at late infantile stage].
A one-year-old girl with tricuspid atresia (TA) underwent fenestrated totalcavopulmonary connection (TCPC) after pulmonary artery banding. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, an fenestrated intraatrial cavocaval channel was constructed with a prosthetic graft of polytrafluorothylene. The SVC was transsected and each end of SVC was anastomosed to the pulmonary artery in a end-to-side fashion. She did not need "high CVP management" nor "low HR management" in the post operative course. We suggest that fenestrated TCPC may be indicated for the patients of TA at late infantile stage.
