Abstract

A 6-year-old boy was diagnosed to have complete atrioventricular canal (CAVC) with double-outlet right ventricle (DORV), common atrium and common atrioventricular valve regurgitation. The atrioventricular junction predominantly connected to the right ventricle (right dominance) and the left ventricle was hypoplastic (LVEDV = 64% of normal). The combination of DORV with right dominant CAVC makes more difficult to make intra-ventricular rerouting. A modified Fontan procedure, atrial partition and DeVega's annuloplasty were successfully performed. It is concluded that Fontan procedure might be preferable rather than intra-ventricular rerouting in this case.
