Brief Summary:
The Fontan Procedure is a palliative surgical procedure used in pediatric patients with one functional ventricle.The procedure, a series of stepwise operations that alter cardiorespiratory physiology, separate the systemic and pulmonary circulations to create Fontan physiology, where the systemic venous blood flows passively and without ventricular thrust into the pulmonary circulation.The hallmark of the Fontan circulation is a sustained, abnormally elevated central venous pressure combined with decreased cardiac…
