2 Figure 1 Cavopulmonary anastomosis is created by using a flap of right atrial free wall to form the posterior and lateral walls of the neo-superior vena cava (SVC) and a generous pericardial patch (or pulmonary homograft) is used to reconstruct the anterior neo-SVC. RV, Right ventricle; RPA, right pulmonary artery; Ao, aorta; IVC, inferior vena cava.
