Modified Fontan Procedure with Extracardiac Epicardial Lateral Tunnel -New Surgical Technique-
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
We report three cases of children who underwent definitive conversion to the Fontan circulation using a new surgical technique, Extracardiac Epicardial Lateral Tunnel.
This new procedure allows the operation to be performed as a totally extracardiac operation(especially in ventricular dysfunction) and allows in to performed in a very small atrium and in cases with unsuitable pulmonary venous drainage.
Our data suggest that this procedure may achieve satisfactory hemodynamics of the total cavopulmonary connection. (Korean J Thoracic Cardiovas Surg 1994; 27:422-425)
