Bidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis(BCPA)is a palliative method used in the single ventricular repair. It mainly includes bidirectional Glenn shunt and hemi-Fontan operation. The indications of BCPA are those as an intermediate option of total cavopulmonary anastomosis, partial biventricular or 1 1/2 ventricle repair and a practical approach to complex congenital heart surgery. The choise of age,influence on pulmonary artery maturation,remain of additional pulmonary flow,formation of collaters and time to Fontan are demand of study.
