A 6-year-old boy with a case of double outlet right ventricle with large non-routable ventricle septaldefect and severe pulmonary stenosis was deemed unsuitable for biventricular repair on a priorevaluation. Hence, a bidirectional Glenn (BDG) shunt was performed at 3 years of age followingcardiac catheterization. He presented this time with worsening cyanosis and exertionalbreathlessness. The saturation was 88% at room air and the cardiac catheterization was performedbefore the total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC, Fontan) operation. The mean pulmonary artery(PA) pressure was 14 mmHg while the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was 10 mmHg. Theventricular angiogram revealed normal contractility and moderate atrioventricular valve regurgitationbesides showing a generous antegrade flow in the pulmonary arteries.
