It is difficult to manage patients with single ventricular physiology and unbalanced
pulmonary arteries. Since 1998, we started a novel approach [Intrapulmonary-artery …

BACKGROUND: The Fontan operation for patients with one available lung is an extremely
challenging situation. However, few reports are available on this procedure. The purpose of …

Background Pulmonary atresia (PA) is a heterogeneous congenital heart defect and
ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most vital factor for the conventional classification of PA …

Fontan circulation is a well-established palliation in patients with functional single ventricles.
Absence of a sub-pulmonary pumping chamber creates a unique physiology in which blood …

We report on 2 children, aged 3 and 4 years, with single ventricle physiology who underwent
Fontan operation in the presence of a single right lung successfully with good midterm …

The last‐stage palliation of patients with single ventricle physiology hearts is Fontan
procedure and its modifications that can be performed with or without cardiopulmonary …

Assessment of the pulmonary circulation status including pressure, resistance, size, and
absence of anatomical distortion, is crucial to the successful Fontan operation. Most patients …

Background Surgically managing patients with complex congenital heart disease and
severely asymmetrical pulmonary arteries is challenging. Here, we report our experience …

Background The presence of peripheral pulmonary artery stenosis (PPAS) involving lobar
and/or segmental pulmonary artery (PA) branches might preclude proceeding to a single …

Background: Single lung Fontan procedure has been performed in patients with a
