Glenn shunt is an anastomosis between superior vena cava and right pulmonary artery to palliate patients with single ventricle physiology of the heart. Chylothorax is a frequent and troublesome complication after the creation of this shunt, which if not controlled with medical management, might require pleurodesis, and thoracic duct ligation. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) causes less postoperative pain, earlier mobilization, lower overall morbidity, a shortened hospital stay with reduced cost, and a cosmetic incision. A comprehensive understanding of physiology of Glenn shunt and implications of the proposed surgical procedure (VATS) is necessary to plan the anesthetic agents, cardiovascular drugs, ventilation strategies, and other perioperative factors.
