The bidirectional Glenn surgery is a life-saving palliative surgery in patients with univentricular cardiac anatomy and physiology. This procedure can be performed either under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) or off CPB. In this article, we will present a new innovative technique, which was performed on 6 individuals of age ranging from 2 to 18 years and followed up over a few months, which is effective, less morbid, as well as simple, safe, economically more viable, and is easily reproducible.

We report a case of Uhl's anomaly in a 5-month-old cyanotic infant who presented with thromboembolic stroke and acute hemiparesis. The patient underwent successfully an initial surgical repair, which included exclusion of the right ventricle by patch closure of the tricuspid valve, atrial septectomy and construction of a bidirectional Glenn shunt. This was followed by successful construction of a total cavopulmonary connection.

The authors successfully utilize the bidirectional Glenn procedure to palliate late presenting, cyanotic patients with complex congenital heart disease. Additional information regarding preoperative diagnostic testing would be helpful. There is little information regarding patient screening and selection for the procedure. The short term results are satisfactory, however, mid-term and longer follow-up data is lacking. The treatment algorithm suggested by the report might be useful in other settings.
