A double-inlet ventricle, transposition of the great arteries, severe pulmonary valve stenosis and a classic Blalock-Taussig shunt with suture stenosis were described in the report of this operation. At that time a modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (Gore-Tex graft between right SA and right PA) was performed. During follow-up a cardiac pacemaker (VVI-R) was implanted. He now presented with exercise intolerance. The transthoracic echocardiogram (Figure 1) revealed a double-inlet dominant left ventricle, separated from the accessory right ventricle by a hypoplastic intraventricular septum; the atrioventricular connection was discordant. Color Doppler echocardiography showed a small right pulmonary fistula with slow bidirectional flow (Figure 2). Computed tomography angiography revealed pulmonary
