We describe a patient who underwent modified biatrial anastomosis heart transplantation after the bilateral Glenn procedure. We introduced a new surgical technique to use the native central pulmonary artery as systemic venous return, which was anastomosed to right atrium, and then, biatrial anastomosis was performed.
