Abstract

Despite advances in Fontan surgery, obstruction in extracardiac ducts may occur and cause clinical deterioration. We report two cases of stent implantation for correction of stenosis in the Fontan surgery. Ascites was a common clinical sign; a patient was protein losing enteropathy. All procedures were angiographically and clinically successful.
