OBJECTIVE: This article presents a 10-year experience with one and a half ventricle repair for right ventricular hypoplasia or dysfunction. METHODS: From November 1986 to December 1996, 30 patients (mean age 6.7 +/- 8.5 years, range 4 months-40 years) with functionally abnormal right ventricles underwent a bidirectional Glenn shunt as part of the repair. Diagnoses included pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum (n = 15), Ebstein anomaly (n = 5), levotransposition of the great arteries (n = 3), pulmonary stenosis with right ventricular hypoplasia (n = 2), tetralogy of Fallot (n = 3), dextrotransposition of the great arteries (n = l), and Uhl anomaly (n = l)...
