A 2-year-old boy with Taussig-Bing malformation with mild pulmonary stenosis underwent anatomical repair without extracardiac conduit (REV procedure). He had pulmonary arterial banding at 4 months of age, and REV procedure was performed at 2 years and 4 months of age. Under cardiopulmonary bypass, enlargement of ventricular septal defect were performed with an internal conduit. Pulmonary arterial trunk was divided and the proximal end was closed. Direct anastomosis of the posterior wall of the distal pulmonary arterial trunk to the right ventriculotomy was carried out without transection of aorta or translocation of pulmonary artery. Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) was reconstructed with a patch bearing a monocusp. The postoperative course was very smooth and postoperative cardiac catheterization revealed no stenosis in both left and right ventricular outlfow tract and good cardiac performance.
