Bidirectional Glenn procedure
Bidirectional Glenn. Cavopulmonary anastomosis is created connecting the SVC to the right pulmonary artery. Any previous supply to the PAs, such as a Norwood-procedure shunt, is removed.

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), which often requires the bidirectional Glenn as part of its three part palliation procedure
An HLHS heart's blood flow after Norwood procedure, i.e. the stage before a BDG shunt

The bidirectional Glenn (BDG) shunt, or bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis, is a surgical technique used in pediatric cardiac surgery procedure used to temporarily improve blood oxygenation for patients with a congenital cardiac defect resulting in a single functional ventricle. Creation of a bidirectional shunt reduces the amount of blood volume that the heart needs to pump at the time of surgical repair with the Fontan procedure.
