  • Title: Growth and function of the right ventricular outflow tract after Fontan's procedure for tricuspid atresia: a two-dimensional echocardiographic study.

    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1986 Aug; 34(4):236-9. PubMed ID: 2429391.
    Abstract:
    Two patients with classical tricuspid valve atresia were studied by two-dimensional echocardiography before and up to 6 years after Fontan's correction. Preoperative investigation revealed a diminutive right ventricular outflow chamber, which increased in size postoperatively and became functional. These data were compared to those obtained in normal individuals.
