Abstract:
Not only morphology of pulmonary artery or pulmonary artery resistance, but major aortopulmonary collateral arteries are risk factors of Fontan procedure. We report a successful Fontan procedure after rehabilitation of pulmonary arteries by unifocalization and systemic to pulmonary shunt in a high risk Fontan candidate with functional single ventricle combined with hypoplastic pulmonary arteries and major aortopulmonary collateral arteries supplying most of the bilateral lung field.
