  • Title: Rare venous connection causes severe cyanosis after the Fontan operation.
    Author: Nomura F, Finucane K, Kerr AR.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2001 Dec; 72(6):2127-8. PubMed ID: 11789813.
    Abstract:
    We describe a rare case of cyanosis following the Fontan operation secondary to right-to-left shunting through a pulmonary vein connected to both the left atrium and the hepatic veins. This is a hazardous anomaly in a Fontan candidate and should be considered in those with unexpected postoperative desaturation.
