Gastric varices formed in a patient who had undergone a total cavopulmonary shunt operation 7 years previously. The varices were found to be due to development of collaterals from high-pressure systemic vein to low-pressure portal vein. Bleeding gastric varix can be a late complication of total cavopulmonary shunt.
