Transcatheter creation of a pulmonary artery to left atrial fenestration in a failing Fontan circulation using the Atrial Flow Regulator (AFR)

Emma Pascall et al. Cardiol Young. 2021 Aug.

Abstract

Transcatheter creation of an interatrial communication using the Occlutech Atrial Flow Regulator Device for pulmonary hypertension or heart failure is well described. We report a case of an 8-year-old boy with a failing Fontan circulation, in whom the Atrial Flow Regulator was used to successfully create a fenestration between the pulmonary artery and left atrium, improving his clinical condition.

Keywords: Atrial flow regulator; Fontan; fenestration.
