Abstract

We report an unusual case of a 2-month-old baby with a diagnosis of common arterial trunk and double outlet right ventricle with a remote type ventricular septal defect. Taking into consideration the physiologic moment and anatomic findings of the patient, we planned and successfully performed a bidirectional Glenn procedure as its first palliative procedure.
