Abstract

Two infants with asplenia syndrome and pulmonary venous obstruction underwent repair of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection without cardiopulmonary bypass in 1988. Using a side-biting clamp, an anastomosis between the left upper pulmonary vein and left superior vena cava-atrial junction was satisfactorily created without undue instability. Furthermore, both cases had the advantage of efficient growth in the anastomotic site postoperatively.
