What is a Modern Fontan? [PDF]

open access: yesPediatric Cardiology, 2013
The Fontan procedure has undergone multiple modifications since its original description in 1971 [1]. However, all modifications before 1988 focused on somehow connecting the right atrial appendage to the pulmonary arteries. This forced the caval blood to take a curved path to the pulmonary arteries, with the inferior caval return following an S-shaped
