Summary
Modified Fontan conversion: an alternative technique for grown-up patients Background/Introduction A need persists for Fontan conversion (classical Fontan to total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC)) that provides alternative approaches for the individual anatomical challenges occurred in these unusual and complex congenital grown-up patients. Aims/Objectives We describe a novel bail-out technique for Fontan conversion. Method A 28-year-old woman (tricuspid atresia/Blalock-Taussing shunt) underwent atriopulmonary Fontan procedure at the age of 3.
