Fontan conversion with arrhythmia surgery.
OBJECTIVE Hemodynamic abnormalities and refractory atrial arrhythmias in patients late after the Fontan operation result in significant morbidity and mortality. We reviewed our experience with Fontan conversion and concomitant arrhythmia surgery. METHODS Between January 1996 and February 2004, 16 patients underwent Fontan conversion and arrhythmia surgery. Mean age at the initial Fontan opera...
متن کاملFontan completion in patients with atrial isomerism and separate hepatic venous drainage.
OBJECTIVE Fontan completion in patients with atrial isomerism, in which the inferior vena cava (IVC) and the hepatic vein (HV) drain separately, is technically challenging. Herein, we review our surgical approach to these patients. METHODS The medical records of 50 consecutive patients with atrial isomerism who underwent Fontan completion between 1998 and 2008 were reviewed retrospectively. ...
متن کاملTranscatheter Closure of Fenestration with Detachable Coils After the Fontan Operation
We report our experience in 13 patients who underwent transcatheter closure of Fontan fenestration with the Cook detachable coils. These patients underwent the extracardiac type Fontan operation with a short conduit fenestration (n=7) or lateral tunnel type with a punch-hole fenestration (n=6). Fenestration closure was done at the mean age of 5.1+/-2.4 yr, average of 32 months after the Fontan ...
متن کاملConversion of atriopulmonary or lateral atrial tunnel cavopulmonary anastomosis to extracardiac conduit Fontan modification.
OBJECTIVE Obstruction of the atriopulmonary anastomosis or the lateral atrial tunnel cavopulmonary anastomosis in the Fontan circulation for univentricular physiology may result in dilation of the right atrium or the right atrial free wall that is incorporated in the lateral atrial tunnel, respectively. Secondary detrimental sequelae may consist of supraventricular dysrhythmias, thromboembolism...
متن کاملManagement of the univentricular connection: are we improving?
OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of the bidirectional cavopulmonary shunt, total cavopulmonary connection, and baffle fenestration on outcome of the Fontan operation in our unit. METHOD We reviewed 123 bidirectional cavopulmonary shunts and 264 Fontan operations performed from 1980 to 1995. Analysis of pulmonary artery size (right and left main and lower lobe branches) before and after bidirect...
