文摘
Certain cardiac malformations may pose difficulties in achieving a biventricular repair, and univentricular repair may be selected for them if the Fontan criteria are satisfied. However, univentricular palliation is not without its own drawbacks. We present a patient with double outlet of the right ventricle with pulmonic stenosis where the Fontan operation was conducted but where there was early Fontan failure in the short term and she needed conversion to a biventricular physiology.
