The surgical palliation first described by Fontan and Baudet 1 as Fontan-type operation or total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) is based on a connection between the systemic venous system and the pulmonary artery tree, excluding the pumping function of the main ventricle. Under these circumstances, the main ventricular chamber acts as a single ventricle, supplying anterograde flow and aspirati...
