European Surgery, 1993
From November 1988 to October 1991 30 patients underwent a total extracardiac right heart bypass for complex cardiac anomalies by means of bidirectional cavopulmonary anastomosis and interposition of a conduit from the inferior vena cava to the pulmonary artery. Mean age at surgery was 6.4 years and mean weight 19.2 kg.

Aortopathy has been recognized as one of the major pathophysiologic features in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) that includes dilatation and/or increased stiffness of the aorta. A body of evidence of “aortopathy” has been also reported in patients after the Fontan operation and most of studies had focused on the dilated stiffened ascending

Early experience with extracardiac Fontan operation
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2001The extracardiac Fontan (ECFO) operation has gained more widespread use over last decade. In this article we analyze our early experience with ECFO.Thirty-three patients underwent ECFO at median age 4.1 years. Normothermic perfusion with the heart beating was used in 24 patients and cardioplegia in 7.

Subaortic obstruction and the fontan operation
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1998Systemic outflow tract obstruction in the heart with a functional single ventricle promotes myocardial hypertrophy, and this has been shown to be an unequivocal risk factor for poor outcome at Fontan procedure. Such systemic outflow tract obstruction may be congenital or acquired.

Extracardiac fontan operation with adjustable communication
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1995A modified technique for the Fontan operation is described in which an adjustable communication between the extracardiac conduit (systemic venous chamber) and the right atrium (pulmonary venous chamber) is constructed. Potential advantages of this technique consist of minimization of surgical manipulation of atrial tissue, reduction or elimination of ...

Results of the modified Fontan operation in adults
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1988The results of the modified Fontan procedure were examined in 77 patients 18 years of age and older who underwent operation at this institution between October 1973 and December 1986. This series represents 16% of the patients undergoing the modified Fontan operation during that period. Of the 77 patients (46 men and 31 women), 29 had tricuspid atresia,

Recent Results with the Modified Fontan Operation
Scandinavian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1993From Jan 1989 to December 1991, 61 patients had modified Fontan procedures for a variety of lesions, including tricuspid atresia (18), mitral atresia (3), double inlet ventricle (14), isomeric hearts (4) and others (22). The hospital mortality was 1.6% (70% CL.0.2-5.3%). There were 2 late deaths.
