Abstract

An ideal Fontan procedure would minimize complications while maximizing flow dynamics through the circuit. We report our early experience with a new combined surgical/transcatheter approach which enables a nonoperative, transcatheter Fontan completion. The conceptual rationale of this management strategy, as well as surgical and catheterization techniques, are discussed.
