Abstract:
Bilateral superior vena cava (SVC), which occurs following bilateral bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS), is an anomaly marked by unique hemodynamics. This study aimed to determine its effects on outcomes after Fontan completion. Among 405 patients who underwent BCPS and total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) between 1997 and 2017, 40 required a bilateral-BCPS. The dominant SVC prior to TCPC was identified according to the direction of blood flow in the central pulmonary artery, and its rela...     »
