Transcatheter extracardiac Fontan completion: a minimally invasive pathway for single-ventricle care

In a programme that couples surgical preparation with later catheter-based completion, the extracardiac Fontan can be performed safely and effectively in carefully selected candidates, with rapid recovery and stable mid-term clinical status. Larger studies are needed to define long-term outcomes and comparative effectiveness versus surgical completion.

Abstract

In a programme that couples surgical preparation with later catheter-based completion, the extracardiac Fontan can be performed safely and effectively in carefully selected candidates, with rapid recovery and stable mid-term clinical status. Larger studies are needed to define long-term outcomes and comparative effectiveness versus surgical completion.
