Before revision: Fontan operation as the current ultimate palliation of single ventricle defects results in significant late complications eventually leading to a failing circulation. It has been suggested that introducing a cavopulmonary assist device to serve the function of the missing subpulmonary ventricle could potentially stabilize the failing Fontan circulation.
After revision: Fontan operation as the current ultimate palliation of single ventricle defects results in significant late complications . Using a mechanical circulatory device that targets the right circulation to serve the function of the missing subpulmonary ventricle could potentially stabilize the failing Fontan circulation.
