Fontan Conversion

Many children with complex single-ventricle CHDs undergo a Fontan operation to correct their disorder. Unfortunately, over many years, the original Fontan operation often results in unfavorable blood flow patterns and abnormal heart rhythms. While the original Fontan procedure has been modified to correct identified flaws, many patients who underwent the original procedure require conversion to the modified Fontan to correct the associated complications.
