Between February 1991 and May 1992, 9 patients with a nonrestrictive inlet ventricular septal defect or complete atrioventricular septal defect and hypoplasia of the right ventricle underwent successful two-ventricle correction incorporating a bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis. Despite a satisfactory early postoperative course, large serous pleural effusions developed in 5 of them between 2 and 6 weeks after operation. Serial echocardiography showed an evolution of flow patterns in the superior vena cava from marked systolic reversal immediately after operation to nearly continuous forward flow into both pulmonary arteries about 6 weeks later. This pattern was consistent with the transition from cardiac-dependent to respiratory-dependent caval flow. The development of pleural effusions appeared to coincide with the loss of systolic caval flow reversal and resolved after establishment of a predominantly respiratory-dependent flow pattern.
