Abstract
We report on two patients who received a transcatheter cavopulmonary connection by a needle puncture under deep conscious sedation. In both patients, the vessel-to-vessel connection was achieved by a venous access into the superior caval vein and direct needle puncture of the pulmonary artery. The two cavopulmonary anastomoses were held open by a covered stent and a bare-metal stent, respectively.
