Surgical valve replacement in adults late after total cavo-pulmonary connection/Fontan procedure
Surgical SS valve replacement late after a Fontan operation in highly selected adult patients with valvular regurgitation performed in a tertiary dedicated centre resulted to be safe in our population and conveyed clinical benefit. Close monitoring of all Fontan patients developing valvular dysfunction is warranted, whereas future prospective research may refine selection criteria, optimal timing and outcomes.
