A double-patch technique has been used to repair total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in 35 patients (mean age, 4.9 months; mean weight, 4.2 kg). In all patients with supracardiac or subdiaphragmatic type of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection, repair has been accomplished by enlarging the "new" left atrium. There were three early deaths (3 of 35 = 8.6%) and no late deaths in a mean follow-up of 30 months (3 to 71 months). We propose this double-patch technique as an alternative surgical option for total anomalous pulmonary venous connection.
