Abstract

Mechanical circulatory support in failing Fontan patients with Fontan circuit failure remains challenging. Herein, we describe a failing fenestrated Fontan patient who underwent systemic ventricular assist device support leaving the fenestration open. Perioperative course and hemodynamics during mechanical support are described in detail.
