Modifed Fontan Operation for Univentricular Hearts With Left Atrioventricular Valve Atresia: An alternative technique of reseptation of the atria

Between June 1988 and December 1990, four patients underwent atrial reseptation and the modified FontanKreutzer operation for univentricular atrioventricular connection with left-sided atrioventricular connection with left-sided atrioventricular valve atresia. Also anomalous systemic venous connections were encountered in combination in 3 of them. Pulmonary stenosis was infundibular in one and both valvular and infection and sepsis on the 12th postoperative day. The other 3 are in NYHA class 1 during the fallow-up periods of 24, 20 and 1 months, respectively.
