Abstract
- In a patient with single ventricle associated with complex systemic and/or pulmonary venous drainage, intraatrial Fontan procedure is sometimes technically difficult due to the complex spatial relationship between their orifices in the atrium. We report a case of the modified extracardiac conduit Fontan procedure in a patient with a single ventricle in which the inferior vena cava and the hepatic vein drained separately into the atrium and the intraatrial orifice of the hepatic vein was abut to the orifice of the left lower pulmonary vein.
