abstract: We describe an alternative technique to the extracardiac Fontan procedure in a patient with a univentricular heart, in which the inferior caval vein and the hepatic vein drained separately into the common atrium and the intraatrial orifice of the hepatic vein was adjacent to the opening of the left lower pulmonary vein.
