Transparavertebral Occlusion of a Large Venovenous Collateral in a Fontan Patient
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

First Report on Atrial Leadless Pacing in a Lateral Tunnel Fontan Patient
ABSTRACT Introduction No reports on atrial leadless pacing have been demonstrated in patients with the Fontan palliation. We present the case of a patient with a Lateral tunnel Fontan palliation with leadless pacing system for symptomatic bradycardia in the setting of sinus node dysfunction. Methods After internal review board approval, a retrospective
