Optimal conduit size for extracardiac Fontan operation.
BACKGROUND Lack of conduit growth potential and thrombogenicity are the main drawbacks of the extracardiac Fontan operation (ECFO). Optimal size of the conduit according to the patients age and inferior vena cava diameter has not been established. OBJECTIVES We set out to ascertain whether the optimal dimensions of the conduit could be determined before an ECFO. METHODS Actual and expected ...
متن کاملImproved early postoperative outcome for extracardiac Fontan operation without cardiopulmonary bypass: a single-centre experience.
OBJECTIVES The use of modified extracardiac Fontan operation (ECFO) for total cavo-pulmonary connection allows cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to be avoided and seems to improve early postoperative results. We evaluated our experience with the off-pump technique for ECFO. METHODS Since 2009, the last 17 consecutive patients of 137 (median age 3.2 years, median weight 14.5 kg) in whom no intracar...
متن کاملResults of an extracardiac pericardial-flap lateral tunnel Fontan operation.
OBJECTIVE Extracardiac pericardial-flap lateral tunnel Fontan operation has the theoretical advantage of growth potentiality of the extracardiac tunnels. The mid-term results of this technique and morphologic change of the lateral tunnel were studied. METHODS Clinical data were reviewed in 42 patients who underwent extracardiac pericardial-flap lateral tunnel Fontan operation between November...
متن کاملFontan operation.
D uring the past 4 decades, the Fontan operation has been carried out as a surgical treatment in patients with tricuspid atresia. Over the years, it has become established as a revolutionary therapy in patients with univentricular heart physiology. Many experimental and clinical studies have been performed with a view to understanding the Fontan circulation; in consequence, the operation has un...
متن کاملThe extracardiac conduit Fontan operation using minimal approach extracorporeal circulation: early and midterm outcomes.
OBJECTIVE Our approach to the extracardiac conduit Fontan operation has evolved over time from full-pump, to partial-pump, to completely off-pump. This study is designed to report our overall experience with the extracardiac conduit Fontan operation and to evaluate the evolution in bypass technique on postoperative outcomes. METHODS From September 1992 to April 2005, 285 patients, median age ...
