A variety of techniques have been utilized to close Fontan fenestrations. Among 20 patients who underwent a cardiac catheterization for fenestration closure, 3 patients had residual native atrial septum, forming an additional intermediate chamber on the pulmonary venous side of the fenestration. Three different methods were used to close these fenestrations.

Department of Neurosurgery, Medical Center - University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany.
Background And Objective: A safe working trajectory is mandatory for spinal pathologies, especially in the midline, anterior to the spinal cord. For thoracic cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leaks, we developed a minimally invasive keyhole fenestration. This study investigates the necessary bone removal for sufficient exposure of different leak types particularly regarding weight-bearing structures.

Objective: The modified Fontan operation, a palliative approach for single ventricular circulation patients, often incorporates a fenestration to facilitate postoperative management. Postoperative fenestration closure is sometimes performed to mitigate potential risks such as low oxygen saturation. However, the benefits and potential risks of this procedure remain under investigation.

Aim: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic heart disease. This study aimed to demonstrate the effects of preoperative oxygen saturation on the early prognosis of TOF and identify risk factors associated with early complications.
Method: A cohort of 1,138 patients who were diagnosed and underwent one-stage surgical repair in this hospital were retrospectively included in this study.

A syrinx involves cystic dilation of the central canal of the spinal cord due to the accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid and often results in a neurological deficit. While treatment options vary, surgical management is often utilized and requires an open durotomy. A 70-year-old female presented with one year of progressive low back pain with associated leg numbness, urinary incontinence, bilateral foot drop, and imbalance resulting in multiple falls.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with congenital heart disease (PAH-CHD) is a consequence of unrepaired large systemic-to-pulmonary shunts. The long-term data of adult patients who have PAH-CHD with elevated pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) are limited. We aimed to investigate the survival of adults who had PAH-CHD with predominantly left-to-right (L-R) shunts with (1) borderline-to-high PVR and (2) treat-and-repair compared with those with Eisenmenger syndrome (ES).
