Abstract

Both the original and modified Fontan procedures are associated with several late complications such as atrial arrhythmias, thromboembolism, and right pulmonary vein compression caused by a markedly enlarged right atrium. We describe herein the case of a patient who underwent conversion of right atrioventricular to total cavopulmonary anastomosis to control atrial arrhythmia that developed 12 years after a modified Fontan operation. The procedure proved successful in alleviating his symptoms immediately. He is now doing well with no recurrence of atrial arrhythmia 1 year after the operation.
