Key Points

To evaluate the impact of fenestration on early perioperative outcomes of the extracardiac Fontan procedure.
Prospective observational design
Comparison of fenestrated and non-fenestrated procedures
Assessment of perioperative outcomes
Fenestration did not lead to significant improvement in most perioperative outcomes
Need for larger studies to better define fenestration's role

Implication

Observational study compares perioperative outcomes in fenestrated versus non-fenestrated Fontan procedures, indicating further research is necessary.
