The modified Fontan procedure: physiology and anesthetic implications
J Cardiothorac Vasc Anesth.
1992 Aug.
Abstract
The modified Fontan operation has gained wide acceptance as a functional corrective procedure for patients with CHD with single ventricle physiology. Long-term survival and palliation of symptoms are excellent with most patients able to lead normal lives. The absence of a pulmonary contractile ventricle means that the single ventricle is responsible for perfusion of both the pulmonary and systemic circulations. Elevated systemic venous pressure is required to overcome PVR and this state of systemic venous hypertension has a significant impact on the anesthetic and postoperative care of these patients.
