There were 11 males and 6 females at mean age of 4.7±2.5 years ranging from 3 to 10 years and at mean weight of 16.6±4.9 kilogram ranging from 10.6 to 27.0 kilogram. Two patients accepted modified Fontan surgery of stage one. The rest 15 patients accepted staging operation. They accepted modified Fontan surgery after they accepted a series of surgery like bidirectional Glenn procedure. Results There was no mortality in hospital.
