Abstract
The laterolateral anastomosis between the superior vena cava and the p ulmonary artery trunk is presented as a modified technique for total c avopulmonary connection. This procedure was successfully performed on a 9-year-old girl, associated with the exclusion of the right atrium, for the treatment of tricuspid atresia and transposition of the great arteries.
