Anatomic Biventricular Repair in Right Isomerism With Noncommitted Ventricular Septal Defect

Biventricular repair in right atrial isomerism is rarely feasible due to associated anomalies of venous connection, ventricular imbalance, nonroutabilty of the interventricular communication, a common atrioventricular junction, and inadequate pulmonary arterial branches. These patients are also often not ideal for univentricular repair due to some of the above associations. We describe a novel surgical technique that was utilized in such a patient for biventricular repair of a child with right atrial isomerism with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, regurgitant common atrioventricular valve, hypoplastic left ventricle, nonroutable ventricular septal defect, and pulmonary stenosis.
