Published: December 2005

We herein present bidirectional Glenn shunt and concomitant placement of extra-cardiac graft with an advantage of preparation for a later extra-cardiac total cavo-pulmonary connection, which was successfully performed for seven children with a univentricular heart.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate veno-venous collaterals between bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt and total cavopulmonary connection.

Methods: Patients who underwent staged total cavopulmonary connection between 1995 and 2022 were reviewed. Veno-venous collaterals between bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt and total cavopulmonary connection were depicted using angiograms.

During bidirectional cavo-pulmonary anastomosis (bidirectional Glenn; BDG), the thymic tissue is often excised to facilitate the exposure of the superior vena cava and its junction with the innominate vein. Subsequently, it is discarded. Since the last two decades, the lead author (ST) has pursued anchoring the excised thymus in its position by suturing it to the opposite unexcised thymic lobe.

Fontan-associated liver disease (FALD) may be caused by chronic liver congestion due to high central venous pressure (CVP). Recently, the usefulness of liver native T1 mapping in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in adulthood has been reported. To evaluate the usefulness of native liver T1 mapping in children with congenital heart disease (CHD), we investigated the utility of native liver T1 relaxation time (LT1) in pediatric Fontan patients in comparison to other CHDs.
