Abstract
Single ventricle anomaly is a congenital heart disease which is characterized by anatomical malformations. The main abnormality that a patient faces is desaturated blood flow, which, without any treatment increases the risk of death. The classical treatment is based on a three stage palliative procedure which should begin from the first few days of patient’s life. The final stage is known as Fontan procedure which directly connects inferior vena-cava to pulmonary arteries without going through the ventricle.This connection is known as Total Cavo Pulmonary Connection (TCPC). After surgery, the single ventricle could supply adequate and saturated systemic blood flow for the body, but TCPC...
