Abstract
An alternative method to create an intraatrial, cavocaval channel without using any prosthetic material in total cavopulmonary connection is described. This new technique avoids possible thrombotic complication, limitation of heart growth by intraatrial prosthetic material, and reduction in secretion of antinaturetic peptide.
