Abstract

Creation of a defect in the atrial septum is a well-established palliation for complex congenital cyanotic heart disease. It allows mixing of blood from both the sides and improves systemic saturation and ensures better palliation. We describe a new approach of atrial septectomy through left atrial appendage. This patient also underwent a left-sided bidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis.
