  • Title: Surgical management of an extracardiac total cavopulmonary connection in heterotaxy syndrome with isolated hepatic drainage.
    Author: Schreiber C, Hörer J, Kostolny M, Holper K, Eicken A, Lange R.
    Journal: Herz; 2005 Mar; 30(2):141-3. PubMed ID: 15875102.
    Abstract:
    The extracardiac modification for completion of a cavopulmonary connection has added a further option for direction of inferior vena cava and/or hepatic venous drainage to the pulmonary arteries. The authors describe a technique of isolating a hepatic vein and connecting it to the inferior caval vein in a side-by-side fashion prior to anastomosing it to the tubegraft in a patient with heterotaxy syndrome.
