title: Extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection after superior cavopulmonary connection for left isomerism.
abstract: We report the case of a 3-year-old boy who underwent definitive conversion to the Fontan circulation after total cavopulmonary shunt using a total extracardiac right heart bypass. This simple, safe and reproducible procedure is an alternative to Fontan or total cavopulmonary connection procedure.
