We report the successful use of the Amplatzer duct occluder for the delayed closure of the
fenestration in three patients who underwent an extracardiac modified Fontan procedure. At …

We have recently used the Amplatzer septal occluder to close Fontan fenestrations.
Between June 1998 and December 1999, 13 patients underwent transcatheter occlusion of …

Since the late 1980 s, essentially all Fontan operations at Children's Hospital Boston have
been done using a fenestrated technique. The rationale behind this modification is as …

Objective: Most devices devices available for percutaneous closure of Fontan fenestrations
