  • Title: Modified Fontan procedure using a retroaortic atriopulmonary anastomosis.
    Author: Oelert H, Borst HG.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1984 Dec; 32(6):392-4. PubMed ID: 6084340.
    Abstract:
    In the Fontan operation and numerous of its modifications for hemodynamic correction of tricuspid atresia, extraanatomical conduits placed anteriorly are inevitably at particular risk of obstruction. This report describes the construction of a direct retroaortic left atriopulmonary anastomosis supplemented by an intraatrial rerouting of the systemic venous return. Hemodynamic considerations and growth potential may render this method suitable for primary intracardiac repair at all ages.
