A 10-year-old girl was referred to us with a diagnosis of pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum with a severely hypoplastic right ventricle and atrial septal defect. Her tricuspid valve diameter (TVD) was 48.5% of normal, with a TVD Z-score of -6.7, while right ventricular end-diastolic volume was 53.4% of normal. As a definitive procedure, one and one half ventricular repair using a bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt (BCPS) was performed instead of a Fontan procedure. The postoperative course was uneventful without episodes of low cardiac output or elevated right atrial pressure. She has been doing well during a follow-up period of 3 years.

D018610 Heart Bypass, Right Diversion of the flow of blood from the entrance to the right atrium directly to the pulmonary arteries, avoiding the right atrium and right ventricle (Dorland, 28th ed). This a permanent procedure often performed to bypass a congenitally deformed right atrium or right ventricle.

D018633 Pulmonary Atresia A congenital heart defect characterized by the narrowing or complete absence of the opening between the RIGHT VENTRICLE and the PULMONARY ARTERY. Lacking a normal PULMONARY VALVE, unoxygenated blood in the right ventricle can not be effectively pumped into the lung for oxygenation. Clinical features include rapid breathing, CYANOSIS, right ventricle atrophy, and abnormal heart sounds (HEART MURMURS).
