Abstract

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.
