A new technique for hemi-Fontan procedure for single ventricle type of physiology is suggested. In addition to the standard bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis, this approach includes creation of a blind anastomosis between the opened roof of the right atrium and right pulmonary artery. This new technique simplifies completion of the lateral tunnel Fontan procedure.

Key Words: Single ventricle; Cavopulmonary anastomosis; Hemi-Fontan
