We report a patient who underwent a total cavopulmonary connection with an extracardiac conduit through a right thoracotomy. The thoracotomy approach was useful in circumventing possible hazardous complications at the sternal reentry for the completion of a staged Fontan due to previous mediastinitis in this patient.
