Implantation of a Berlin Heart as single ventricle by-pass on Fontan circulation in univentricular heart failure
Abstract
The clinical management of ventricular failure after the Fontan operation presents a formidable challenge to surgeons. We report our experience with successful implantation of a Berlin Heart EXCOR ventricular assist device as a bridge to transplantation in a child with Fontan circulation.
