The extracardiac conduit technique is a valid option for completing total cavopulmonary anastomosis (TCPC) in patients with a single ventricle. The technique allows for beating heart surgery, optimal flow dynamics, and reduced postoperative atrial arrhythmia. Different types of conduit have been proposed. This study reported a single-centre experience with two different types of conduit.

Abstract
The extracardiac conduit technique is a valid option for completing total cavopulmonary anastomosis (TCPC) in patients with a single ventricle. The technique allows for beating heart surgery, optimal flow dynamics, and reduced postoperative atrial arrhythmia. Different types of conduit have been proposed. This study reported a single-centre experience with two different types of conduit.File in questo prodotto:
