There is a risk of myocardial ischemia in patients with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum associated with right ventricle dependent coronary circulation, especially during open heart operation. Cardiopulmonary bypass unloads the right ventricle, and thereby reduces the coronary perfusion pressure in an area that is wholly or partly dependent on the right ventricle. We present a veno-venous bypass technique to keep the right ventricle beating and ejecting to supply the oxygenated blood into the right ventricle dependent myocardium and consequently to prevent myocardial ischemia during right heart bypass operation.
