Abstract

Complex congenital heart diseases like univentricular cardiac defects are relatively common. Tricuspid atresia (TA) with hypoplastic right ventricle is one such univentricular congenital defect which if not corrected surgically leads to fatality. Palliative bidirectional Glenn procedure is usually done as initial measure for such patients. We present this case report based discussion to enumerate the challenges faced by the anesthesiologists while managing such cases for bidirectional Glenn shunt surgery (BDGS) during perioperative period.
