Abstract
Additional source of pulmonary blood flow in patients with bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis (Glenn shunt) may cause elevation of the pulmonary artery pressure precluding safe completion of the Fontan operation. A case is presented with single‐ventricle bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis and additional flow from the ventricle to the pulmonary artery resulting in elevated Glenn pressure. The communication was successfully occluded using Amplatzer duct occluder with satisfactory reduction in the Glenn pressure.
