Hepatic venous malformation after modified Fontan procedure with partial hepatic vein exclusion

Ann Thorac Surg. 1997 Apr;63(4):1177-9. doi: 10.1016/s0003-4975(97)00046-5.

Abstract

Partial hepatic vein exclusion, as an alternative to baffle fenestration, has been performed as a modification of the Fontan procedure. We report a case of severe cyanosis resulting from massive right-to-left shunting via a hepatic vascular malformation that developed in a patient after a modified Fontan procedure with partial hepatic vein exclusion.
