Perfusion Strategy to Prevent Right Ventricular Decompression on Cardiopulmonary Bypass During Extracardiac Fontan for Right Ventricle–Dependent Coronary Circulation
Early and long-term outcomes in patients with pulmonary atresia-intact ventricular septum undergoing staged univentricular palliations have been known to be adversely affected by the presence of right ventricle–dependent coronary circulation. We describe a surgical technique to circumvent the coronary insufficiency caused by acute decompression of the right heart.
