Abstract

Surgical strategies in patients with functionally or anatomically borderline right ventricles include a high-risk biventricular repair, a Fontan procedure, or a one and half ventricle repair (also referred to as the partial biventricular repair). One and half ventricle repair (1.5VR) circumvents the high early mortality of a biventricular repair and also the late morbidity of the Fontan. The two most common indications for a 1.5VR are a small pulmonary ventricle and a dilated poorly functioning pulmonary ventricle. Extension of 1.5VR to patients undergoing anatomical repair for congenitally corrected transposition of great arteries, straddling tricuspid valves, and severe Ebstein’s anomaly has facilitated biventricular repair with decreased mortality. We reviewed the relevant literature on this subject in detail and describe its rationale, indications and its early and late results.
