Describes a novel interventional technique for creating a late fenestration in an extracardiac Fontan conduit using sequential stent flaring.
May allow late fenestration in extracardiac Fontan; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before adoption.
Recent Fontan circuits frequently involve an extracardiac conduit. We report on a new technique to create a late fenestration in such an extracardiac circuit by sequential flaring of a stent in the fenestration.
