Cyanosis following a modified Fontan procedure secondary to anomalous inferior systemic venous return
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 August 2008
Summary
A persistent subcardinal anastomosis was identified as a source of right-to-left shunting in a patient with excessive cyanosis following a modified Fontan procedure. Anomalies of inferior systemic venous return must be defined when a Fontan procedure is performed by direct caval venous anastomosis to the pulmonary arteries, and hepatic venous drainage is left to mix with pulmonary venous return.
