AI Article Synopsis
- Two cases of venous cannulation were reported following total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) using an extracardiac conduit.
- The first case involved a 3-year-old girl with an unusual blockage in the inferior vena cava that required surgical intervention while on cardiopulmonary bypass.
- The second case featured a 2-year-old girl who needed extracorporeal membrane oxygenation due to low cardiac output syndrome and was successfully decannulated after 39 hours of support.
Article Abstract
We report two cases of venous cannulation after a total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) with extracardiac conduit. Venous cannulation was performed via side graft sutured to the extracardiac conduit in an end-to-side fashion. The first case was a 3-year-old girl, who suffered from an atypical inferior vena cava obstruction after TCPC. The obstruction region was distal to the anastomosis site of extracardiac conduit and inferior vena cava. She underwent a surgical release of obstruction under cardiopulmonary bypass without circulatory arrest. The second case was a 2-year-old girl, who needed an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support after TCPC due to severe low cardiac output syndrome. She was decannulated successfully after thirty-nine-hour support.

Long-term outcomes of extracardiac Gore-Tex conduits in Fontan patients.
Int J Cardiol Congenit Heart Dis
June 2024
Department of Radiology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul National University Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Extracardiac conduit Fontan procedure (ECFP) employing a Gore-Tex conduit has been widely used for patients with single ventricle physiology; however, the long-term status of the conduit is unknown. We investigated the changes in a Gore-Tex conduit after ECFP and the factors associated with its narrowing.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of 86 patients who underwent ECFP between January 1995 and December 2008 and had cardiac computed tomography (CT) during the follow-up period.
Novel percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy in Fontan conduit obstruction with cardiogenic shock. Case report.
Int J Cardiol Congenit Heart Dis

Cardiology Department, La Paz University Hospital, Paseo de la Castellana, 261, 28046 Madrid, Spain.
Background: Obstructive complications in the Fontan circulation pose significant risks to affected patients. Traditional management strategies may be insufficient, necessitating innovative treatment approaches. This case report discusses the use of the FlowTriever Retrieval System for percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy in a patient with a history of Fontan procedure who developed conduit obstruction due to thrombus formation.

Department of Pediatric Cardiac Surgery and Congenital Heart Disease, Instituto Nacional de Cardiología Ignacio Chávez, Mexico City 14080, Mexico.
Background: Fontan circulation maintains an elevated venous pressure; this promotes venous and lymphatic congestion and may lead to late circuit failure. Our objective was to determine the association between thoracic lymphatic perfusion patterns assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and late Fontan failure.
Methodology: A retrospective study was performed.

Unlabelled: Appearance of a thrombus in the graft intraoperatively during Fontan surgery is not reported and warrants careful evaluation. Our patient was an 18-year-old lady who underwent fenestrated extracardiac Fontan surgery. Intraoperatively, transesophageal echocardiography revealed an echogenic structure inside the conduit.

Background: The benefit of additional pulmonary blood flow (APBF) in Fontan pathway remains controversial. The aim of the study was to analyze the systemic arterial saturation, ventricular and atrioventricular (AV) valve function, development of pulmonary arteries and postoperative course after Fontan operation in children with preserved or eliminated APBF between stages 2 and 3 of the Fontan pathway.
Methods: A group of 180 consecutive children (median age: 2.
