Transcatheter occlusion of venovenous collaterals in the total cavopulmonary Fontan circulation
Transcatheter occlusion of venovenous collaterals in Fontan patients with chronic hypoxaemia resulted in a modest increase in oxygenation over a median follow-up of 4 years and longer-term prognosis did not appear to be adversely affected. Lower Fontan pressures at baseline were associated with a greater improvement in oxygenation.
