Extending the limits for modified Fontan procedures

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1986
During the early development of atriopulmonary anastomotic operations (Fontan-Kreutzer), a number of physiologic and anatomical limits were proposed by the Fontan group as selection criteria. Among 167 consecutive patients undergoing modified Fontan procedures from 1973 through 1985, 109 (65%) patients exceeded one or more of the original selection ...

The Fontan procedure: lessons from the past [PDF]

Heart, 1998
The Fontan circulation was one of the “big ideas” in congenital heart disease in the 1970s. This completely novel type of circulation was at first the source of some astonishment but, gradually, understanding of its properties progressed and there is now an expanding cohort of patients followed up with stable Fontan circulations. In 1990, on the basis
