The BD Glenn procedure is a pediatric heart surgery performed to improve blood flow to the lungs in children with certain congenital heart defects, such as single ventricle defects or conditions where one side of the heart cannot pump blood effectively.
During the procedure, the surgeon connects the superior vena cava (SVC) — the large vein that brings oxygen-poor blood from the upper body — directly to the pulmonary arteries. This allows blood to flow passively into the lungs for oxygenation, bypassing the heart’s right ventricle.
The BD Glenn procedure is often performed as a second-stage surgery, following the Norwood procedure, and is typically done when the child is around 4–6 months old. It serves as a step toward the Fontan procedure, which completes the heart’s circulation correction later in life.
Many international patients choose to undergo BD Glenn at Amrita Hospital in India, where advanced expertise, modern technology, and world-class patient care ensure excellent outcomes.

Yes. The Glenn Procedure is considered safe and effective, especially when performed by experienced pediatric cardiac surgeons. As with any major heart surgery, potential risks include bleeding, infection, irregular heart rhythm, or fluid buildup around the heart or lungs. However, serious complications are uncommon in specialised centres.
It is done in children with single-ventricle heart defects (such as hypoplastic right or left heart syndrome) to improve blood oxygenation and reduce the workload on the heart until the next stage (Fontan Procedure) can be completed.
The surgeon connects the superior vena cava to the right pulmonary artery, allowing oxygen-poor blood from the upper body to flow directly into the lungs without passing through the right ventricle. This helps balance oxygen delivery and reduces heart strain.
The surgery typically takes 4–6 hours, depending on the child’s condition and the complexity of the heart defect.
Hospital recovery usually lasts 2–3 weeks, with close monitoring in the cardiac ICU for several days after surgery. Full recovery, including improved oxygen levels and better energy, may take 6–8 weeks.
