ABSTRACT
In patients with a right to left intracardiac shunt, air embolism results in an obligatory systemic embolization. Nonembolization of entrained air is described in a child with a single ventricle physiology who had earlier undergone bidirectional Glenn shunt construction and Damus–Kaye–Stansel anastomosis. The air entrainment was detected by intra-operative transesophageal echocardiography. The combined effect of a “diving bell” phenomenon and mild aortic valve regurgitation are suggested as the reasons for the confi nement of air into the ventricle preventing catastrophic systemic embolization.
