Between July, 1988 and November, 2002, 108 patients underwent total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) at Kobe Children's Hospital. The primary malformation was univentricular heart in 40 tricuspid atresia in 21, mitral atresia in 16, and other complex cardiac defects in the remaining 31. Fenestrated TCPC, staged TCPC, and off-pump TCPC were performed in 39, 26, and 15 high risk patients, respectively. Nitric oxide inhalation was administered in 46 patients. The mean follow-up period was 4.3 years (range, 1 month to 14 years). There were 10 early deaths due to low cardiac output syndrome in 4, thrombosis in 3, tracheal bleeding in 2, and disseminated intravascular coagulation in 1. There were 5 late deaths due to congestive heart failure in 2 patients, arrhythmia in 1, cerebral infarction in 1, and subarachnoid hemorrhage in 1. Late complications included arrhythmia in 17 patients, systemic desaturation caused by abnormal systemic venous channels in 10, pleural or pericardial effusion in 3, chylothorax in 1, and aortic valve incompetence in 1.
