Augmentation of pulmonary blood flow with an axillary arteriovenous fistula after a cavopulmonary shunt [PDF]

, 1996
Of 320 children with cyanotic congenital heart malformations who had previously undergone cavopulmonary shunt operations, 11 had increasing cyanosis and exercise intolerance and were considered unsuitable for definitive repair, a Fontan procedure, or ...

Transparavertebral Occlusion of a Large Venovenous Collateral in a Fontan Patient

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 1039-1042, March 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Patients with a univentricular heart following completion of the Fontan circulation often experience varying degrees of desaturation due to the formation of venovenous collaterals. We present a rare case of a Fontan patient with an enlarged azygous vein shunting into the pulmonary venous system, causing significant desaturation. As no standard

Understanding Stage II Bidirectional Cavopulmonary Shunts

, 2017
Despite improvements in surgical technique and medical management, single-ventricle lesions remain one of the most challenging congenital heart anomalies to treat, and mortality rates are high.

Hypoventilation improves oxygenation after bidirectional superior cavopulmonary connection [PDF]

, 2003
ObjectiveBidirectional superior cavopulmonary connection may be complicated by systemic hypoxemia. Previous work has shown that hyperventilation worsens systemic oxygenation in patients after bidirectional superior cavopulmonary connection.

Early Versus Later Bicavopulmonary Connection in Infants: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background The bicavopulmonary connection (BCPC) is a crucial palliation for single‐ventricle physiology, improving haemodynamics by alleviating ventricular volume overload. While traditionally performed at 4–6 months, the optimal timing is debated, with a trend toward earlier intervention to reduce interstage mortality.

Additional pulmonary blood flow has no adverse effect on outcome after bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis.

, 2005
BACKGROUND Controversy continues over whether additional sources of pulmonary blood flow are beneficial in combination with a bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis.

Hemodynamics and arteriovenous malformations in cavopulmonary anastomosis: The case for residual antegrade pulsatile flow [PDF]

, 2013
ObjectivesContinuous flow in Fontan circulation results in impairment of pulmonary artery endothelial function, increased pulmonary vascular resistance, and, potentially, late failure of Fontan circulation.

Clinical and Imaging Predictors of Poor Prognosis in Ebstein Anomaly

CJC Pediatric &Congenital Heart Disease, Volume 4, Issue 4, Page 203-212, August 2025.
Abstract Ebstein anomaly is a rare congenital heart condition characterized by the partial or complete absence of tricuspid valve delamination, a variable degree of “atrialization” of the right ventricle, and a redundant anterior leaflet with fenestrations.

One and a half ventricle repair: clinical and animal study [PDF]

, 2013
SUMMARY Since the first description of the so called “one and a half ventricle repair”, published by Billingsly et al. in 1989 1, this type of correction has been applied to several complex congenital cardiac anomalies.
