Abstract
The Fontan procedure is performed in paediatric patients with a single anatomical or functional ventricle aiming to redirect the venous blood flow directly to the lungs bypassing the single ventricle [1]. The most common form of Fontan surgery is the atriopulmonary connection in which the right atrium is connected to the pulmonary artery. In this case, the right atrium functions at higher than normal pressures leading to atrial distension and injury to the sinus node or its blood supply [2]. Late consequence of the above is the occurrence of paroxysmal or persistent atrial arrhythmias [3].
