Abstract

Bidirectional Glenn is a palliative procedure and a basic step towards total cavopulmonary connection. Preserving confluence of pulmonary arteries , obtaining bilateral pulmonary blood flow and leaving options open for any subsequent procedures. The bidirectional Glenn shunt is the second in a series of three staged surgeries to reconstruct a single ventricle heart, in situations where corrective bi-ventricular surgery or cardiac transplantation are not feasible .The bidirectional Glenn shunt procedure involves rerouting circulation such that the superior vena cava (SVC) drains into the right pulmonary artery.
