title: Biventricular hearts not amenable to biventricular repair.
abstract: Many hearts, although considered morphologically biventricular, may not be candidates for a biventricular repair. Such patients are best placed on a Fontan algorithm. This article reviews in broad principles those hearts that, despite being biventricular, do not lend themselves to a two-ventricle repair.
