FONTAN OPERATION: HOW I DO IT? Piya Samankatiwat Cardiothoracic Unit Ramathibodi hospital
What is the ‘single ventricle’? Prof. Richard van Praagh ‘One ventricular chamber receives blood from both tricuspid and mitral valve or a common atrioventricular valve’ Therefore, this excludes tricuspid atresia and mitral atresia.
So !!! you are in doubt what the univentricular physiology is. Prof. Robert H Anderson emphasised that ‘the entire atrioventricular junction is connected to only one chamber in the ventricular mass’ DILV Absent of one atrioventricular connection Common AV valve with one completely well-developed ventricule Only one fully developed ventricle Heterotaxy syndrome Rare miscellaneous forms
Univentricular heart Congenital heart surgery nomenclature and database Common inlet atrioventricular connection Absence of one atrioventricular connection DILV DIRV Tricuspid atresia Mitral atresia Common atrioventricular valve with one welldeveloped ventricle (unbalanced AVSD) Heterotaxia syndrome with only one fully developed ventricle Other rare forms of univentricular heart

Evolution of surgery for single functioning ventricle 1940 s Blalock-Taussig shunt 1952 PA banding by Muller WH and Dammann JF 1954 Shumacker and 1 st cavopulmonary connection 1956 separation of single ventricle at Mayo Clinics 1971 Fontan’s and Kreutzer’s
Fontan procedure Background 1971 Fontan and Baudet first introduced a new procedure for repair of tricuspid atresia in clinical practice 1970 s to 1980 s became widely accepted as the palliative procedure of choice in univentricular heart physiology Physiological, not anatomical correction
First report in Thorax 1971 by F Fontan and E Baudet
Ten commandments (Fontan and Baudet) Age above 4 years No distortion of pulmonary arteries from prior shunt surgery Normal systemic venous drainage Normal ventricular function Adequate pulmonary artery size No atrio-ventricular valve regugitation Low pulmonary artery pressure (below 15 mm. Hg) Low PVR Normal sinus rhythm Adequate size of right atrium
Candidate for Fontan Body size Systemic ventricular function End diastolic pressure < 10 mm. Hg Mean PAP < 15 mm. Hg PVR < 2. 5 Woods unit (2) Unrepairable pulmonary artery distortion ? ? ? Abnormal IVC course: proceed to Fontan operation? ? ?
Principle of surgery for UVH Protect the lung: prevent pulmonary HT with PA banding Correct cyanosis: BT shunt Atrial septostomy/septectomy Relieve ventricular outflow tract obstruction Correct obstruction of pulmonary venous connection Correct valvular regurgitation
Operations: pre-Fontan palliation Pulmoanry artery banding Modified BT shunt Atrioventricular valve repair Correction of TAPVC (if present) DKS or Norwood principle Glenn’s shunt: superior cavopulmonary connection
Palliative procedures Pulmonary artery banding (PAB) Source: www. ucch. org
Blalock-Taussig shunt
DKS and Stage-I Norwood procedure
Glenn procedure SVC to pulmonary artery Patient selection: good candidate Pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) mean < 20 mm. Hg Size of branch pulmonary arteries Preparation Bypass circuit: aortic/ SVC –RA venous cannulation
Special considerations for Glenn Additional sources of pulmonary blood flow Bilateral BDG Kawashima operation Hemi-Fontan procedure
Cavopulmonary shunt (Glenn) Source: www. ucch. org
Glenn shunt Surgical technique: How I do it? With/without CPB: aortic cannulation and SVC-RA venous cannulation Essential steps: Extensive mobilisation of the SVC Cannulate the SVC at the SVC-innominate junction Keep azygos vein intact until starting the SVC-RPA anatomosis Limited PA dissection – no need for extensive dissection
Palliative definitive surgery: Fontan procedure Total cavopulmonary connection Fontan: IVC to PA Extracardiac conduit (ECC) Lateral tunnel (intracardiac baffle, LT)
Types of TCPC R Kaulitz, M Hofbeck. Arch Dis Child 2005; 90: 757– 762.
Fontan operation
Extracardiac conduit
Completion of TCPC Surgical technique: How I do it? On CPB or Off-pump Dissection of IVC and PA Tailoring the PTFE conduit (at least size 16 mm should be selected for adequate IVC flow) Anastomosis: the IVC anastomosis is done first. Side-to-side fenestration
Fontan procedure I
Fontan procedure II
Fenestration and completion
Anomalous systemic venous return
Challenges Anatomical and technical Branch pulmonary artery stenosis and disconnected pulmonary artery Dextrocardia and Mesocardia Abnormal anatomy or position of the IVC Fenestration or non-fenestration Physiological Pulmonary hypertension
Advantage of fenestration Debate on routine fenestration Beneficial in high-risk Fontan Standard-risk group controversial Randomised-controlled trial 49 cases underwent Fontan (< 2 risk factors) 25 fenestrated, 24 non-fenestrated 6 LT, 43 ECC Fenestrated group: less hospital stay, shorter duration of pleural drainage and less additional procedures Lemler MS, Scott WA, Leonard SR, et al. Circulation 2002; 105; 207 -212
Factors associated with poor outcome Systemic ventricular dysfunction (EDP > 12) Increased pulmonary arterial pressure (mean > 15) Increased pulmonary vascular resistance (>2) Atrioventricular valve regurgitation Distorted pulmonary artery Anomalous pulmonary venous connection
Postoperative care Cardiac output depends primarily on pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and systemic ventricular function Positioning Extubation as early as possible Inotropes Vasodilators Reduction of pulmonary arterial pressure Anticoagulation: warfarin (how long? ? ? ) Only aspirin: enough? ? ?

Sequelae of Fontan procedure Low cardiac output Pleural effusion Arrhythmia Protein losing enteropathy (PLE) immunity loss Hepatic dysfunction Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in Kawashima Progressive cyanosis Chronic exercise intolerance Plastic bronchitis
