RESUMEN
We report 2 cases of infants in whom off-pump bidirectional Glenn shunts were performed. A technique of decompressing the superior vena cava by active manual aspiration has been described. The challenges of maintaning the hemodynamic status, and cerebral protection maneuvers in association with mild hypothermia and a high transcranial pressure have been highlighted.
