    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of application of extracardiac conduit total cavopulmonary anastomosis (TCPA) in complex heart disease. METHODS: From June 1998 to August 1999, 10 patients with functional univentricular complex congenital heart diseases received TCPA. Eight patients were male and 2 female with a mean age of (9.0 +/- 5.6) years (from 2.5 to 21 years) and a mean weight of (25 +/- 14) kg (from 11 to 45 kg). Associated heart anomalies were TGA, PS or ASD. All surgical procedures were performed under general anesthesia and hypothermia. RESULTS: No operative and postoperative deaths and all patients were followed up for 6 - 18 months. All patients were clinically asymptomatic. There was no increase of systemic venous pressure. EKG revealed no arrhythmias. The cardiac function was in NYHA class I-II. CONCLUSIONS: Extracardiac conduit TCPA is a simple procedure and it is superior to others.
