[Clinical management of bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis].
The procedure of bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis (DBCPA) is an effective method for the treatment of some complex congenital heart diseases. The clinical results of the procedure as a part of total cavopulmonary anastomosis were better than those of fontan operation in the treatment of single ventricle and tricuspid atresia. 6 cases were treated by using this procedure in our department in recent years. All of them receives total pulmonary anastomosis, but one this procedure plus ASD closure for the treatment of Ebstein anomaly with tricuspid valve stenosis and right heart hypoplasia. There were 5 cases survived in the early stage and one case died of acute pump failure. And one case died of sepsis two months after operation.
