Abstract
The atrialized RV with dyskinesia seems a good indication for a plication. RV end-diastolic volume index of the effective RV decreased after surgery. In severe cases, bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt was useful by decreasing RV end-diastolic volume, thus preventing further RV dilation. In all cases left ventricular ejection fraction and stroke volume index increased after surgery.
