Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The acutely failing Fontan circulation requires urgent management to decompress the systemic venous pressures and augment cardiac output. This may involve the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support to preserve life. Catheter-based effective Fontan takedown is an alternative to surgery in these patients, who are acutely unstable, and offers the potential for an adjustable fenestration. |
