The authors successfully utilize the bidirectional Glenn procedure to palliate late presenting, cyanotic patients with complex congenital heart disease. Additional information regarding preoperative diagnostic testing would be helpful. There is little information regarding patient screening and selection for the procedure. The short term results are satisfactory, however, mid-term and longer follow-up data is lacking. The treatment algorithm suggested by the report might be useful in other settings.

AbstractWorldwide figures suggest that two percent of appropriate referrals for neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation turn out to have previously covert congenital heart disease. This is despite the fact that expert cardiological evaluation is routine prior to cannulation. The experience in the United Kingdom includes such a case which is reported here. The implications for the role of pediatric cardiologists in such a service are considered.
