Caval translocation as a surgical strategy for patients with congenital heart disease and bilateral superior vena cava
For patients with bilateral SVCs, translocation is a valuable addition to the armamentarium of strategies and holds promise for facilitating biventricular repair. Moreover, for patients requiring cavopulmonary anastomosis, a translocation enables a single cavopulmonary connection, and future studies may prove this strategy to be optimal over the traditional bilateral cavopulmonary connection.
