Abstract :
A 7-year-old boy underwent ventricular and atrial septal defect patch closures, pulmonary valvulotomy, left pulmonary artery dilatation, and bicaval Glenn shunt, which maintained good patency between the superior vena cava and right atrium, because of a reduced right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDV). The RVEDV had increased at 15 years of age; therefore, we performed an anatomic biventricular correction by removing the bicaval Glenn shunt. We found that anatomic biventricular correction becomes possible if RVEDV increases postoperatively.
