[Castaneda-de Leval's modified Fontan operation in complex cyanotic defects with subsequent percutaneous transluminal embolization of systemic pulmonary collaterals].

Abstract

The case of a five year old boy with a double-inlet-left-ventricle and the aorta in 1-malposition, large VSD, ASD and pulmonary stenosis is reported, that showed after modified Fontan surgery severe effusions and a severe protein loss syndrome. Aortopulmonary collaterals were detected as the cause of this and successfully treated in several sessions by percutaneous transluminal embolization.
