The Fontan Procedure in Adults

The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1997
A retrospective clinical study was performed to document the course of adult patients undergoing the Fontan procedure.Between 1982 and 1994, 21 adults aged 18 to 40 years (mean age, 27 +/- 7 years) underwent a Fontan procedure. Anatomic diagnosis was tricuspid atresia in 9, double-inlet left ventricle in 4, and various single ventricles in 8.

The Extracardiac Fontan Procedure

Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery: Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Annual, 1998
The extracardiac modification of the Fontan procedure for complex single ventricle congenital cardiac disease is the latest attempt at improving on both the short-term and long-term results of this operation. This procedure differs from other modifications in that the inferior vena cava is detached from the heart and connected via a conduit to the ...

Fontan's procedure in two stages

The American Journal of Surgery, 1993
Since 1985, 381 patients with various cardiac malformations that share the central common feature of only one effective ventricle have been treated with some modification of Fontan's operation. Since 1989, the Fontan operation has been staged by associating the superior vena cava with the branch pulmonary arteries (hemi-Fontan) initially followed, some
