Abstract : We report a 50-day-old infant with infective endocarditis and a large fungal vegetation on the tricuspid valve (TV) obstructing the right ventricular inflow. Emergency excision of the vegetation and TV reconstruction failed. Because of failure to wean off cardiopulmonary bypass support, a rescue bidirectional superior cavopulmonary anastomosis (BDG) was performed. Various management options with appropriateness and efficacy of this procedure are discussed.
