A 14-month-old male with tricuspid atresia who had [I, D, D], pulmonary atresia, right pulmonary stenosis and a Blalock-Taussig shunt successfully underwent a Fontan-type operation accomplished by making a direct right atrial-pulmonary arterial connection with a Gore-Tex roof patch. The patient had an uneventful postoperative course without development of the heart failure.
