Long-Term Outcomes After Fontan Conversion Operation: A Comparative Analysis Based on Type of Fontan Connection
These findings, in addition to the high operative mortality associated with FC, suggest that this may not be the optimal treatment option for most adults with atriopulmonary Fontan presenting with Fontan failure. Duration of Fontan physiology rather than the type of Fontan connection may be the main determinant of outcomes.
